It is now October 5 and I just learned of Frank's passing. He and I were shipmates on board the USS Waddell. We were also "buddies." I am very sorry to learn of his passing - and his mother's as well. I will pray for Frank and his family.

To All the Sisto Family,
I just learned about Franks passing. Frank and I started teaching at New England Tech the same day and retired about the same time 24 years later. I always enjoyed long chats with Frank over the many year we worked together.
He will be missed.

There are no words that can take away your pain at the loss of Frank.
Please know that our hearts and prayers are with you. He does not need our prayers any longer, his pain and suffering is over. We hope that at least you can find some solace in that.
