I have been searching for my long lost childhood friend for so many years.  We were close friends back in Ossining, and we lost touch when you moved.  I finally found you and learned we must wait a little longer for that long-overdue reunion.  You, Sean, and Paul were all great guys, but I always considered you a true friend.  I'm not sure why God would take a soul like yours so young, but he must have needed you for something important; you were hardwired better than most I knew.  Frankie, I know you are at peace, and despite your current residence, I am happy to have finally found you.  

God Bless you and your Family,

Frank Frustace

Hi Frank. I never wrote on this page. Pretty sure by now you know about your dear friend Brian. I just wanted to share with you but you probably already know what a guardian angel he became to me. He was your true friend. And he looked out for me over the years,  making sure that I was OK. 

He forever loved you as a friend. Words cannot still express how much I miss you. But I wanted to somehow let you know that one of your friends went out of their way to make sure that I was somewhat OK. He always spoke so wonderfully of you.  

I love you and you are forever missed. 

My Dear Son Frank,

It is one year since you left us. Words can not express my feelings and heartache, which I endure now and forever. I am so angry and sad that a dread mental disease brought you to life's end long before your time. All during your life you always had so much to offer your family and friends...in making their lives better

Although we had opposing views on certain issues, we shared a strong love and respect for one another. There was nothing that I wouldn't do for you...and likewise you for me. I was always so proud of your many accomplishments in college and work. Also your hobbies...such as radio controlled model airplanes, bicycling, classical music, and playing guitar...all of which you enjoyed so much. I know you found your niche in the technology you understood and loved so much. Many of the colleagues you worked with expressed this as well, and described how you helped them along the way.

Frank...I can only pray that you are at peace, and receive our thoughts on how much we love and miss you. Last year at the service I said that someday, somewhere, and somehow you and I would be together again. I truly believe this with all my heart. So for now son....I'll just say Ciao.

With Eternal Love,

Dad

It is 6 months since you left your loving family and my feelings are expressed this sad poem.

               My Beautiful Boy

My beautiful boy
Where are you now?
Where did you go?
Please, please, let me know.
You never said goodbye
Left me sad I cry and cry.
What happened between us?
To make you fly.
Are you happy?
Are you sad?
Did you leave me very mad?
My heart is sore, never to mend.
My brain is rattled, can't comprehend.
My beautiful boy
Where are you?
Say hello to me once more
As you did after closing the door.

Your loving mother.

I am so sorry to have stumbled upon this page, and to realize (so belatedly) that the world is now bereft such a wonderful man. I worked with Frank at Sony or rather, worked *near* him. We would pass each other countless times a day, with a harried smile and a wave, too busy with work to actually talk. But one night he stopped me, because he could tell I really *needed* to talk. Frank was paying attention; he noticed. It scared me just how clearly he saw me and how he recognized me. Frank was an incredibly perceptive, empathetic, and caring person. I am distraught to hear of his passing, and send my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

My condolences to the family and all of Frank's friends. I had the pleasure of working with Frank at Sony Studios and for a brief time afterwards. Frank was an extremely intelligent and bright person. Thus his becoming the head of technical operations at Sony. More importantly though Frank was a special and wonderful guy. He had such a great personality and sense of humor. We had countless times together that will always remain as good memories to me. I had fallen out of touch with frank over the last few years or more. For that I am sorry as he really was a great guy and I will always remember him as a friend. Again I am sorry for his loss....

I am so sorry to hear of Franks passing.  I enjoyed working with Frank at Imagine Communications. He was always helpful and had a wonderful laugh. My condolences go out to his family

I had the pleasure of working with Frank at Sony Music Studios.  As head of the studio I can say unequivocally that Frank was as gifted and talented as he was kind and good natured.  I don't think anyone who knew Frank isn't in shock right now.  He was one of the good guys and his loss is terrifically sad. I hope the family can take comfort in knowing all of us who knew and worked with Frank consider him to be one of the best ever.  He was a part of the Sony Music Studios family and his legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew him.  My deepest sympathy to his wife, his family and his friends.

My deepest condolences to the Gatto family.  Frank and I worked together at Sony for years...I used to give him a ride home when he worked the evening shift. Occasionally, we spent time flying rc planes in Croton.  We always had a lot of laughs...he will be truly missed by all who knew him...

Our thoughts are with you.  I worked with Frank at Imagine Communications and he was a true professional, possessing a wealth of technical knowledge and always happy to help.  I didn't meet him in person until January of this year, so it hardly seems possible that he has passed.  I pray for your comfort and the entire family; Frank will be missed.

Thank you all for you kind words and stories about my son Frank. This book will always be available for reading and posting. Reading these notes gives me more insight about him, and I will cherish your thoughts forever. As my son Tom previously posted: "Please keep them coming."

I just learned of our friend's passing today and was so saddened by this unfortunate news. I had the pleasure of working with Frank at Imagine Communications and just spoke with him just about a month ago. My deepest sympathy to the Gatto Family. Frank will be missed by all that knew him. He brought a smile and laughter to every encounter we had.
Rest in peace and God be with the family.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Gatto family.    Marie LaCava (SI)

Thank you all so much for your guest book entries. The family enjoys these treasures.
Especially the stories. Such as Frank locking in burglars at the recording studio, Christopher Berndt shared. Please keep them coming.

I followed Frank at Right Track and worked with him at Sony. Great guy. Always had tremendous respect for him; he was a very kind, helpful and extremely intelligent guy. I remember the legendary story that circulated thru Right Track about when Frank locked in some burglars until the cops arrived, Simon loved him forever after that one. Very sad news, my condolences to his family.

With deepest sympathy for the loss of Frank Gatto, Jr.  All my thoughts and prayers go out to the Gatto family.   -Douglas Zimmer (Peekskill, NY)

My deepest sympathies to the Gatto family. Frank was a good friend in our Right Track days, I've missed him since then and am truly saddened by his passing.

Dear Frank, You were not only a very close friend and amazing person, but you rocked it as our DJ at our reception 12-31-13... doing what you loved to do... We love you and miss you so much it hurts! Nancy and Andy

I worked with Frank at Right Track and considered him a true friend. My thoughts and prayers are with the Gatto family. He was a good guy, I'm in shock.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of your husband.   God promises to heal the brokenhearted.   He will strengthen your family through this most difficult time.  (Psalm 147:3)

My Condolences to the Gatto family during this difficult time.  I was a very good friend of Frank and we almost went into business together after Sony.  He was brilliant, kind, creative, fun, generous with his information and always brought life into the room filled with friends and colleagues.  This is very sad to hear and a bit surreal.  I only hope he is now at peace.  I also know he will be with his mentor and friend now Mr. David Smith.  God bless my friend Frank and God Bless the Gatto Family.

Condolences to all the Gattos at this difficult time.  I worked with Frank at Sony Music Studios and remember him as immensely talented and good-natured.  We always seemed to be smiling and laughing around each other.  May Frank and all those feeling this loss find peace.

My sincere condolences to the entire Gatto Family during this time of intense sadness at the loss of Frank.  Hearing this news brought me back to so very many laughter filled memories of high school days involving Frank. His keen sense of humor brightened many a day and his spirit of friendship was genuine. I pray he found peace. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

So sad to hear of Frank passing away. He was a great friend and will dearly miss the countless laughs we had, rest in peace my friend.

My deepest condolences go out to the Gatto family during this sad time. Frank was a good friend of mine and we worked together for many years. It breaks my heart to hear of his passing.

Mr.& Mrs.Gatto, Lisa, Tom & Linda: As I so often felt the feeling of family in all of your presence, I miss my "brother" Frank. My deepest condolences to you, as well as all those (many people) who have been touched by him. His warmth, generosity, kindness, sense of humor, and most of all, his friendship, will never be forgotten. God Bless Frank, and the Gatto Family

Dear Frank, Irene, Tommy, Linda and most of all, my dearest friend Lisa,
You and your family were such an important part of my childhood and all of you were like family to me. Lisa--a sister, and of course, Frank a big brother. I remember Frank's infectious laugh and always calling him "the Frunge". He will be missed.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. His illness got the best of him...but he is at peace with himself now. I love you all.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. His illness got the best of him.... and may he be at peace with himself now. I love you all.
