Kelli,Wayne and Mrs. C,
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to you on the passing of Mr.C - there never was a greater 'father'. He was all of our dads while we were skating and he continued to be a 'grandfather' to our own children. You are in our thoughts as we continue to pray for our "RI Family". We love you all~

Frank was one of the best guys I've ever met in my life. I'm so fortunate that he entered into mine so early. I think of him every time I have an ice cream cone and I always will.
We're thinking of you all and saying our prayers for you. I'm so deeply sorry. Love you guys. xo, Courtney aka: Erin (and Dave and Shane)

Dear Annette & Kelli - My family's thoughts & prayers are with you. I know what it is to lose a husband & we all have felt the loss of our parents. Your memories will guide you through your tears. Even though we haven't seen cousin for a long time he will still be "Frankie Boy" to me. We were unable to say "goodbye" but he will be missed. In the end we will all meet again.

Dear Annette, Kelli & Wayne
We are so sad to hear of the passing of Frank. There are so many wonderful memories of Frank with Kelli, Courtney, and Adam when they were kids. Everyone (especially the kids) loved Frank. He was so much fun and so very generous with his time and attention. No one loved kids more than Frank Cataldi. Annette, I remember you and I meeting the very first day that Courtney and Kelli attended Henry Barnard. They became fast friends and so did we. I also remember my husband and Frank circling the RIC campus making sure that their girls got off to school okay. As I recall, they were more upset than we were that the girls were old enough for school. I remember his having to buy Courtney two ice cream cones because she always dropped the first one he bought for her. He said she should have been twins for what she cost him! I remember him giving Adam a dollar for every drink of soda he could carry on a tray! He was a wonderful, entertaining, good-natured man who was always a gentlemen. Thank you all for being such a wonderful memory to the Stone Family. We are so sorry for your loss.
Fondly,
Tom and Janeen Stone

Your Dad will always be remembered as a wonderful supporter of figure skating and for his love for his family and friends.

I will always remember his smile...especially at competitions when we needed it most!
