Frank was like a brother to me. His heart was as big as the ocean. Always caring for others before himself. Always making everyone laugh. I will miss him so much. He will forever be in my heart. My boys loved him and called him Uncle Frank. I am so sorry for your loss. But I do want you to know that Frank was such an amazing human being. If there is anything I can do please stop by. I don't want to leave my Info on here but I live down the street from Frank.

Words cannot express how saddened we were to hear of Frank’s passing. Our deep sympathy to the family. Sending love and prayers. Every word written about Frank is so true. He was above all a gentleman. He was a kind, caring and a great person. As part of the St. Leo Breakfast bunch, we will miss him a lot. God calls a person home during Christmas because they are special and Frank was that special person.
Rest In Peace Frank, you will be missed so much.

Heartfelt condolences to the Gutowski Family.
I met Frank years ago working at Bloomingdales. I have fond memories of hanging out in the men’s department chatting & laughing, going out after work and seeing him at the beach (he rocked a mean tan between May – September). He was also our waiter numerous times at Zody’s for family events.
Frank was a kind soul - generous, patience and very funny.
Knowing he is reunited with his Mom and Dad brings me comfort. Rest in peace Frank.

Frank was always happy to see you and took a personal interest in following through on your drink/food order. He was especially kind and respectful of our 100 y/o mother. Frank exemplified “customer service” with his smile, courtesy, and ultimate professionalism. We will miss Frank, but are comforted by his being in a better place. Bonne appétit, dear friend to all.
