An avid animal lover, he volunteered throughout his life to help abandoned and orphaned animals, adopting the cats that he knew needed him most, including his beloved cat, Diana. Frank was devoted to his extended family and was always there with love, support, and assistance. He is survived by his nephew, Nicholas Testa (Cindy); his nieces, Kayla and Jacinda and great-niece; his uncle, Henry Testa, and aunt, Carol Testa, with whom he lived for many years; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Dennis. Family and friends are invited to call Tuesday, from 4-7 p.m. in the Peter H. Torello & Son F.H., 1022 Dixwell Ave., Hamden.

I'm so sorry to hear about Frank's passing. I knew him from growing up in North Haven. We were in high school at the same time and he was a friend of my brother George. He was very kind to attend George's memorial reception 3 years ago and it was so nice to talk with him and reminisce. My sincere condolences to Frank's family.
