Frank Talarico was born on July 7, 1946, to Mary and Frank Talarico. He was the first-generation United States Citizen of a family who immigrated from Sicily. Frank was the last of his siblings and his birth family members. His sisters Mary, Margaret, Sophie, and Lucille departed the earth along with their parents. Frank is survived by his wife Evelyn and their daughters Miriam and Yvonne. His sons-in-law Eddie and Cecilio. His grandchildren Aristole, Sierra and Amir. His great grand-children Sam, Azariah and Archer.

Frank was a hardworking scrap metal collector for many years. Always early to rise and early to bed. He never needed an alarm clock. Frank was known for his generosity and his infectious bellowing laugh. He found humor in all circumstances. His love of food earned him the nickname "Fat Frank". He liked to drive fast and give great bear hugs. Frank was a traditional man, a protector and provider. He was independent to the end. He was proud and never wanted to be a burden. Frank was a friend to many and a surrogate father to some. With all his special relationships he always had somewhere to go and someplace to be. He will truly be missed.

Rest in peace Dad-

Miriam and Yvonne

 

Remember Me

Remember me with smiles not tears, For all the joy, through all the years. Recall a "closeness" that was ours, A love as sweet as fragrant flowers.

Don't dwell on thoughts that cause you pain, We'll see each other once again, I am at peace...try to believe, It was my time....I had to leave.

But "what a view" I have from here, I see your face, I feel you near, I follow you throughout the day, You're not alone along the way.

And when God calls you...you will be, Right by my side...right here with me, Till then, I'll wait by heaven's door, We'll be united...evermore.
