Frank Campanaro Obituary

Frank Peter Campanaro, 45 of Naperville, tragically died on December 27, 2006. Frank was born on June 29, 1961 in Hamilton, Ontario. He graduated from McMaster University in 1985 where he was a member of the McMaster Marauders Football Team. As a player, he twice received the honor of "Offensive Lineman of the Year" and was named to the "OUAA All-Star Team" in 1984.

While working for Armstrong World Industries, Frank moved his family to Naperville in December of 2000. In the summer of 2005 he took a new position with St. Mary's Cement. Frank was a member of the White Eagle Golf and Country Club where he enjoyed golfing with many friends and family, especially his daughter, Olivia. He was an incredibly supportive husband and father who always encouraged us with practical words and lots of love. He especially enjoyed watching his daughters play soccer.

Frank will forever be in our hearts and sadly missed by his daughter, Alex; wife, Sandy; parents, Maria and Mario Campanaro; brother, David (Kathy) Campanaro; mother and father in-law, Isobel and Jack Shaw; sister-in-law, Norma (Ed) Wallace; brothers-in-law, Art (Oksana) Shaw, Gary (Cathe) Shaw, the late Brad Shaw; and many nephews and nieces.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Gift of Hope or a charity of choice would be appreciated.

Visitation will be at the White Eagle Homeowners Club on Wednesday, January 17th at 5:00-8:00 p.m. A church memorial service will take place on Thursday, January 18th at 11:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Mercy, Aurora, IL.

I loved Frank, he was a great guy and I'll never forget him.

Frank was a very well respected part of the Armstrong family. I had many opportunities to interact with him. I know how much he treasured his family. And how much you have all given to and for each other. You are all an inspiration to the rest of us who have no idea what you have all gone through. And especially now, you must know that the good Lord is watching over you with the best sheppard of all by his side, guiding the rest of your life untill you shall all be rejoined again, together, with the Father. God Bless You and keep you as we all rejoice in the knowledge that we knew a good man and were inspired to be better because of our brother, Frank.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was Frank's Customer Service Rep. in Lancaster when he was on the Chicago sales team. I got a chance to speak with him the week before Christmas. He spoke of You, Alex and Olivia, always talking fondly about his family....He was one of the kindest, funniest, positive people I've ever worked with. My heart goes out to You, Alex and the entire family. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sandy & Alex-
I am deeply crushed and heartsick to have learned about the tragic loss of Frank and Olivia. I think about and pray for you & Alex daily. You only had to spend a few minutes in your family's presence to feel & appreciate the love and warmth that radiated. I am grateful that Alex has such an inspirational mother who can show her what it really means to be strong and courageous. There are many of us throughout the country, and the world, who share in your pain & loss. Both Frank and Olivia were and are dazzling stars that the rest of us were privileged to have been touched by. I pray that peace, comfort, acceptance and strength find both of you swiftly. Although I'm not around the corner, if there is anything I can do to help ease your pain, please let me know. Much love & sympathy to you both, Amber

Our hearts are breaking for you and Alex. Please know the great admiration we have for Frank's quiet strength and deep love for his family that we observed during Alex's illness. To lose a child...words cannot express our profound sadness.
We feel blessed for having known your family and pray for you during this time of sorrow. Kim has joined the SADD chapter at her high school hoping "to do something positive to remember Mr. Campanaro and Olivia".

Alex,
It seems like only yesterday when you, Olivia, Butler & I were having a blast at Abby's going away party. I had the most fun that night and it is a great memory I will always have with me.
I didn't know Olivia very well, but she seemed like the greatest little sister. I miss your Dad's smiling face after our soccer games and his telling me "nice game". Oh, and how he always kept track of how many players you knocked down during the game.
Love, your goalie, Kim (#15)

Do not stand at my grave and weep - I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.

I don't believe we ever had the chance to meet but I knew and worked with Frank since '99. I started as a customer then a co-worker of Frank's. I always recieved such a warm welcome and sense of calming from him. He is truly a special, one of a kind person. I am grateful that I got a chance to see him the week prior to the accident, where we caught up and exchanged a hug.
I am also so, so sorry about your daughter Olivia as well.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Frank was a beautiful human being. Having known him enhanced my life. One of the few people I have ever met that no one had a bad thing to say about. Frank's love for you and the girls permeated everything about the man. It was a pleasure to know the man and to know that he made a positve impact upon all who knew him. I will forever miss Frank and always cherish my memories of him.

I am so sorry for your loss. Family is the ultimate tie in life and good memories can not be taken away. I have not seen you since you were a little girl at Long Beach. Your Mother called Linda to let our family know of the accident. I am sure your daughter is just as nice and loving as you were as a child. I am sorry that I lost touch and did not know you as an adult, and your loving family. God Bless you and Alex.
Love, Joan Wood - Tonawanda, NY

We've never met but I knew and worked with your husband on different occasions at Armstrong. In all ways I considered Frank a real gentleman and a person of integrity. I will miss him.

Sandy,
I'm an Armstrong employee who got the privilege of getting to know Frank during some joint travel together. I felt like we had a lot in common since we are the same age and both have two daughters. Frank's encouragement during our travel together is part of the reason I moved into a sales position. It's something I've never forgotten.
My family extends our deepest sympathies to you and your family for your loss. We pray to God to comfort your grief and guide you during this difficult time.

God Bless.

Sandy,

I know you don't know me but I have heard many stories about your husband through my boyfriend Lou Campanaro. I am so sorry for your loss and can feel the pain you feel after losing your child and husband. Take comfort in the thought that Olivia is with her father in a more peaceful place than we are. Take care.

January 8, 2007

I find this very difficult to write, although it cannot be anywhere as difficult as the anxiety and suffering you and Alex have gone through. From the time Frank was a child, he always had a calm focus on life but still managed to have a tremendously postive influence on people. He was truly an "extraordinary ordinary" man, those who touch others almost effortlessly because they always have the human being beside them in mind. Olivia was an angel and along with Alex and you, the pride and joy of his life. Please seek to remember the wonderful times, and there were many. We are all shocked, saddened and changed by what has happened.

Rick & Gaye Lynn Loufek

January 8, 2007

Dear Sandy and Alex,

Words are never strong enough, or even correct at a time like this. We are truly sorry. Frank was a wonderful man and Olivia a bright, shining star.
It is difficult at a time like this to even imagine that God has an ultimate plan. However, we can be assured that there is a plan and He as it all worked out. God is not only holding Frank and Olivia at this time; He is holding the two of you in his loving arms, with each new day. He will give you strength when you feel you can't possibly go on and walk with you every step of the way.
Allow yourselves all of the time you need for grieving; comfort each other; and know that many are caring about you and sending prayers your way.
May God continue to hold you in the palm of His hand.
Take care my friends.

Sandy and Alex,
Although I only met Frank on a few occasions, he was a pleasure to be around. He truly left a wonderful impression on all of his customers in Chicago. People here, can't say enough great things about him. I believe God only gives you what you can handle, so the Campanaro Family must be incredibly strong. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brad & Lisa Sampson

January 8, 2007

When the news of the tragedy was told to us, we literally broke down in tears. We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. There is nothing that will lighten the load of grief, but please seek the Lords comfort at this time.

Frank will always be remembered to us as Salty Dog. When we would be out golfing, Frank was always sweating to the extend that I told
him we needed to be careful because the deer would want to come out and lick the salt stains on his shirt.

Know that you will be in our prayers daily as you go thru this time of great loss.

Lisa and Darryl Payne

January 8, 2007

Just one of many from Armstrong who respected Frank. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers to God for comfort to your family in the days ahead.

Dear Sandy:
I worked with Frank at Armstrong for nearly 10 years. I traveled on business, played golf, talked hockey and kids on many occasions with Frank. He was one of the great gentlemen I have ever worked with at Armstrong and his memory will not be forgotten by those who knew Frank.
Our family's thoughts and prayers go out to you and Alex in a most difficult time. Both Frank and Olivia are together in better place and hopefully that can be of some comfort.
The world was a better place because of Frank Campanaro.
God Bless you and your family.

Alex,
Your dad was really cool. When he was our basketball coach for the Warriors, he always made me laugh. He could always lift the teams spirit's up when we were losing. He taught the team alot of good ways to play the game. I still use some of the things that he tuaght us, today.
When i first started playing for Galaxy, when i saw him, he was always enjoying watching the team play. At the end of the game, he would always have a few tips to share.
Olivia was a very nice, funny, cute girl, who when i saw her, also had a smile on her face.

Olivia and Frank will definetly be missed. May they stay in the hearts and prayers of family and friends.

Hello Sandy,
I am another Armstrong rep that was in the Chicago office a few years ago. Frank was a class act, but you already know that. Sounds like you are a big reason for his positive impact within our people at Armstrong.

God Be With You and may he hold you in the palm of his hand.

Sandy, no words can be expressed at a time like this. More than my thoughts and prayers are with you and Alex, my heart goes to you as well. The angels have taken them but they are forever with you.

Words can not express our sympathy for the both of you. Frank was one of the 'Good Guys', and the Next Life has added another Great One. We all will miss him.
Gods Blessings on you both.

Sandy and Alex,
We are very sorry for your loss – our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Although we never had the opportunity to meet, I feel I know you through all the times Frank mentioned you and the kids when we worked together at Armstrong. You were always his top priority, which is probably why Frank was so good at his job. God bless you. If there is anything we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Sandy,
Frank was one of those "class act" people that I truly respected at Armstrong. I will miss his winning smile and his integrity. My prayers go out to you and your family.
