Frank was a good friend and mentor. He was always so good to my family and we all respected him a great deal. Frank was a legendary figure in the New York State Troopers and very influential in the training and careers of thousands of Troopers, including my son's and mine. He also had a legendary sense of humor! We miss him and will always remember him with fondness and affection.

Please accept my sympathies on the passing of your beloved Trooper Frank DiNuzzo. He joined a long line of men and women in grey who built careers on serving others by keeping us safe. My father too was a state trooper and would have been proud to have worked with Frank. The DiNuzzo's are a great family made even stronger and more legendary because of the contributions of their son Frank. Prayers remain with all.
