Michael Frank, born on January 5, 1948, in New York, NY, departed from this world on October 5, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, resilience, and dedication that will not be forgotten. He spent his career as a Pressman at Vibrations Mounting and Control in Bloomingdale, NJ, where he was not just a valued employee, but a source of inspiration to many who crossed his path.
Michael was a true family man, embodying the spirit of devotion and service. For 46 wonderful years, he shared a deep and loving partnership with his beloved wife, Donna Locascio. Together, they navigated life’s journey, creating a beautiful tapestry of cherished memories filled with laughter and compassion. Michael's heart was made fuller by his two adoring daughters, Lisa Frank and her fiancé, Bryan Woolley, the late Gary Frank as well as Liz Frank. Their lives were profoundly enriched by his gentle guidance and unwavering support.
He had a remarkable ability to help those around him, always putting his family first and lending a hand to anyone in need. Michael was not just a figure of strength in his family, but a beacon of kindness in his community. His loving nature and steadfast loyalty will forever resonate with those fortunate enough to know him.
In his leisure time, Michael found joy in the simple things. He relished reading, often losing himself in the pages of a good book. The thrill of watching old western movies brought him delight, as did spending spirited afternoons enjoying sports and conquering crossword puzzles. These interests were more than just hobbies; they represented moments of joy that he eagerly shared with his family, often sparking fond conversations that bonded them closer together.
While Michael leaves behind a profound sense of loss, he is also survived by the enduring love of his family—his soulmate, Donna, and his cherished daughters, Lisa and Liz. Above all, he will be lovingly remembered for his strength, his humor, and his unwavering devotion to those he held dear.
Michael’s spirit lives on in the hearts of his family, and while they grieve his passing, they also celebrate his extraordinary life—a life filled with love, laughter, and the selfless pursuit of joy for others. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will continue to inspire those fortunate enough to have known him.
