So sorry to hear this , Frank was instrumental in his creative financial packages at Northeastern. Without him I could not have afforded my first 2 years there. The man always made you feel special with any interaction with him.

Dear Millie,
Jim and I were sad to learn of Frank´s passing.
Working together in the Diploma Room we shared many stories of our families. It was thru those stories I came to know what a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and brother-in-law Frank was.
I hope you can find some comfort in memories of the 64 years of the love you shared with Pooches.

Uncle, I can´t remember a time when you weren´t in my life. From early childhood school vacation stays, every evening picking up Stephen to long weekends in Amesbury, you´ve always been a constant in my life. I will miss you everyday and hold you in my heart forever. I love you!

I grew up In East Boston and met Frnak at Boston English High School. We also knew one another at Northeastern University. I moved away from East Boston in the early 1960's and came west. Frank was always a very friendly man. I extend my deepest sympathy to his family.

My sincere condolences to Milly and Frank´s family. Frank and l established a friendship many, many years ago at Northeastern that was reconfirmed every time we saw each other. He would always take the time to ask about my late wife, who had MS, as someone who was sincerely concerned and genuine.
He was a great man and will be sorely missed. Heaven has a new hero!

My condolences to the Schettino family. Like many many others I consider Frank a friend. I first met Franks while recovering from knee surgery in 1973. He offered me a job while recovering and taking classes. From then on I couldn't do enough for this man. Always had a positive comment to help me along. One quick story I have to tell, a few years after my surgery I though I was a pretty good hand ball player. So I challenge him to a game, not really knowing his athlete abilities, I said I can take this old man. I said I'll bet you my half scholarship for a full scholarship.... Well he punished me both in the score and physically.... And the gentleman he was said, have you had enough?? We went for a cold drink afterward ... he never took my scholarship. I will miss you Frank...Thanks for the good memories.
