Aunt Michelle, Matthew, Stephanie, Barry, Sarah and Natalie,
Wrapping my arms around you all with great love and comfort. Uncle Frank was such a kind, soft spoken man who had an awesome smile and laugh. I am so lucky to have many memories with the other Scarpino family as I would spend weeks at their house in the summer. I’m so thankful to have had a few visits over the years to catch up and laugh. Rest in sweet peace now Uncle Frank. Love you so much!
Love, Joanna, Jason, Shea and Linden xoxo
Our sincere condolences to Michelle, Matt and Stephanie and family. My condolences also to cousins Mary and John. It is with great sadness to hear about Frank’s passing. He was a very special and kind hearted man. We know that Frank lived with several health problems from a very young man, but he has left this world too soon. He will always be remembered.
May he rest in peace! Love Teresa and Lou Di Pasquale. 🙏❤️❤️
I have so many memories of Frank, from all my visits to Toronto. It was a privilege to come visit you and Frank in Welland with Brian and then again with Matthew and Adam. I still remember being stuck on that Via Rail train at the station while Frank was outside the window, and Stephanie was in labour that day. We had so much fun with Paris that amazing dog, and then with Frank the tour guide who took us all over the Niagara area. Such precious times. Michelle your devotion to Frank is an example to us all of what love and devotion in marriage is truly about. God bless you for your faithfulness. Love to you Michelle, Matthew, Stephanie & Barry and those precious grand-girls. You are in our prayers🙏

Rest in peace Cousin Frank
Our sincerest condolences to Michelle, Matt and Stephanie. Cousin Frank will always be in our hearts. On our many trips to Toronto, we often stopped at Zio Peppe and Zia Ines’ house. He would often be there and always made us laugh and his beautiful smile would warm our hearts.
May you rest in peace and may God welcome you with open arms. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Frank was our cool uncle. He golfed, drove a mustang and introduced us to all of the legendary rock bands! He was very generous and often gave us small change to buy candy and would let us keep the change when we would go buy something for him. We basically grew up with him as he lived next door with our grandparents. We saw Uncle Frank’s proud moments and we also saw him struggle with his health issues. He always had a smile and was very soft spoken. Unfortunately life made it hard for us to see each other as often as we did. I last saw him with Aunt Michelle in Niagara on the lake at one of our cousin’s get aways. We had a chance to speak for some time. That’s how I will always remember you…..smiling laughing and watching football. Rest in peace Uncle Frank.
