Frank was a fanatical Boston sports fan that never missed a game on TV. He was a proud lifelong Maldonian. He worked for over 40 years as a school bus driver for the Boston Public School district achieving number 1 seniority status of over 700 drivers. Frank was known as the “Mayor” of the bus yard and made it a point to socialize with everyone. He thoroughly enjoyed his work until his reluctant retirement but maintained a strong connection with his colleagues and fellow drivers. Frankie loved all of his family and friends. Whether it was watching one of his children’s or grandchildren’s sports activities, celebrating holidays and special events, shopping, or going for a ride. He also enjoyed getting together with his many friends. These times were when he was the happiest.
