Frank V. Terranova, of Somerset passed away on Thursday, September 7th at St. Peter's University Hospital in New Brunswick. He was 69.
Born in Teaneck and raised in Palisades Park, he has lived in Somerset since 1992.
Frank enjoyed listening to 60s and 70s music, constructing things & collecting memorabilia to create his "museum" at home. He took pleasure in building slot cars, racing & selling them, as a hobby. He liked to travel. One of Frank's many talents was being the awesome 'fix-it' & "go-to" man. "Give it to Frank he can fix anything!"
When family members were ill, he was the greatest, most compassionate caretaker.
Above all else, he loved his family and friends. Frank cherished spending time with his loved ones. His presence will be missed by all of those who loved him.
Frank spent most of professional life as a Contracts Manager.
He is predeceased by his parents, Carmine & Marie Terranova.
Surviving are his beloved wife, Marisa, with whom he spent nearly 40 years; son, Frank of Manville; brothers and sister-in-law, Michael & Marilyn Terranova of North Carolina and John Terranova of Piermont, New York; grandson, Frankie Terranova of Somerset; his precious nieces, Kim & Erin and nephews, Luke, John & Marc; and his longtime, closest & best friend, David Romagnoli (wife Kathy) of Waldwick.

So sorry to hear this news. Frankie was my neighbor on 13st for yrs. We grew up together, went to grammar school together. Last time I saw him & David R. Was at the Bicycle Club probably 45 yrs ago. We reminisced for awhile & laughed a little. Glad he had a nice life, family. Thoughts & prayers to you all.
