Theresa

I was greatly saddened to hear of Frank's passing. The memories of our days at Nativity, the touch football games, the baseball games, the four years of Gonzaga vs. St. John's are special. Prayers for your family during this sad time. Rest in Peace, Frank.

Dear Theresa and family, I wish I had known of Franks passing and funeral. I would love to have paid my respects and caught up with some of the best of our childhood neighbors and Teams of Our Lady friends. For sure, now Heaven is more of a home than ever. God bless and Love to all, Tom and Jeannette Reinecker

Mr. Sapienza will always be at the breakfast table, head slightly slanted, nodding in agreement, slipping in a “sure, sure”, listening patiently to one of his children's grand ideas; permitting just the right amount of sarcasm that showed respect, but indicating all the while the idea was not going to go further than this kitchen table...But man he loved it - the time he spent with his family. He soo adored each and every one of his children, not just Chris. Sweet memories & prayers are sent to the Sapienza family.

Chris, Mary, Terri, Chuck and Mrs. Sap -- You are not alone in your grief, and Mr. Sap is not alone in heaven. I'm sure he has found plenty of guys to catch his passes, and plenty of frineds and family to share painless hearty laughter with. Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that you all remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Theresa and family,
Bob and I were so sad to learn that Frank died; he was such a wonderful person. Wish we could have been with you in MD but we have been away in New England all week. May God give you and your family all that you need during this time; we love you and will be in touch soon.

Frank,
I has been an honor to have you as a brother-in-law, as well as an uncle to the children. If the boys would like to have a role model, there is none better than their Uncle Frank. While we already miss you terribly, we take comfort in knowing that God has gotten an amazing man. Thank you for everything. God bless you, Frank.

We love you
