Frank,

So sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad.
I wish I had heard sooner so I could have paid my respects in person. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. I know I will be seeing soon and at that time we will have a cocktail and toast Frank Sr.

Your Friend Always

Christina and family - I was extremely saddened to read of your fathers passing. I know how much you love him and he loved you in return. Take comfort knowing he lived a wonderful life and be at peace knowing your mother was waiting for him with open arms. My deepest sympathy to you at this most difficult time.

Dear Carpano Family,
Knowing "Mr. C" for many years in the Wine Industry was a joy in itself. Having the opportunity to work with him recently at the Liquor Store was truly a privilege. Each Saturday morning we would have a terrific discussion about life, wine & family over a coffee and a smile. He once told me of his first date with his "sweatheart" Maureen after returning from the service. His eyes lit up with such happiness as the story ended with him saying, "I knew she was the one for me." His passion, and love of family was gigantic, and I am honored to have called him Friend. I will keep your family in my prayers, and "Mr. C." forever in my heart always.
Sincerely,
Joe Santucci

I met Frank at Gasbaro`s on a number of occasions. He was such a peasant and gentle man. My sympathies to you Frank and your family. It doesn`t matter what age a parent lives to, losing one is a life changing event.

Mr. Carpano was such a wonderful, cheerful, energetic man, and we used to see him often when I worked with Frank at Channel 10. Frank had such a wonderful relationship with his Dad--it was a joy to behold. Mr. Carpano will be missed. God bless.
