    Frank was a great man who was a joy to carpool with for many Ginna outages.. Inevitably many conversations turned to his family which he was most proud of..
    Rest in Peace my friend. You’ll be missed.

    He watched his sons Keith, and Frank Jr. and my son Michael play baseball together and then football at Fairport H.S. Frank was always there to cheer his sons on and was involved with coaching for several years at the little league fields in Fairport. I remember to this day his passion for sports. Thank you for the memories, Frank. Rest in peace and may God bless your family at this time of mourning.

    Some of my best years were spent at Ginna from 1979-1984 with Frank and Chuck Mitrano always there for a joke, a smile, and fantastic golf tournaments and dinners. He was a wonderful man and may the memories he created and his sense of humor live on in our hearts. Sincerest condolences to his family who I know he held near and dear.

    Frank was a good friend and coworker. It was a pleasure being part of a bowling team with him as it was one of his passions in life. Golf on the other was not, but we had a lot of laughs playing that too. You will be missed my old friend and are now forever in the wind.

I am so sad with his passing, but I want you all to know how much he was loved by me and my staff at Penfield Family Medicine. God Bless all of you – my sincerest thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Annemarie and family-so sorry for your loss. Frank was a great man. Loved his spirit as a ball player, football advocate who was a Red Raider and Redskins super fan. Frank has a legacy inside RG&E for his leadership to direct a diverse team of skilled workers from many RG&E departments to inspect and repair Ginna Station steam generators under challenging conditions. He had immense respect from all he worked with throughout the nuclear industry. Martha and my prayers are with you all and may Frank rest in peace. God bless you all.
