He and his four brothers opened and worked in the local Derry bakery Home Food Kitchen for many years. Later, they transitioned to the tile business Merrimac Tile Co. in which he was the co-founder and president until the present. It is currently operated in Hooksett, NH, where he worked three days a week until last December! Frank loved dancing, Italian cooking, the Red Sox and the Patriots. But most of all, he loved his huge family with a great big Italian heart! He skied with his family during the winter weekends at Loon Mountain, teaching all of his grandchildren the sport. In the summer, the weekends were spent at Salisbury Beach where he was a master griller and bocci player. It became a family ritual to climb the "reci" rock to pick and eat sea urchins and snails.

He was predeceased by siblings, Vito Indoccio, Vincent Indoccio, Benjamin Indoccio, Dolly (Vita) Ladato, and Frances Tomaselli. He is survived by his brother-in-law Guy Tomaselli.
