Janna Vestino Waldeck says
Frank made our high school years so much fun – I’ll always remember his infectious laugh and fabulous personality. I know he will be deeply missed.
Tom and Wanda Hillmer, Goodyear, AZ says
It is with great sadness that we learned of Frank’s passing. While we lived in Kenosha, Frank was the barber for all the boys in our family and he gave our youngest son, Derek, his very first hair cut – about 38 years ago. Related by marriage through his brother Eddie to my niece Debra, we had close ties to the Trecroci family and we send our deepest sympathy to all the family, especially to Elvira and Claudia, and all the family.

May you rest in peace.
