Frank Amato

Frank was born 87 years ago in Petrosino, Sicily. He moved to America with his wife in 1960. Upon arriving in the USA, he worked for many factories and businesses where he learned the skills needed to become a master craftsman. He decided to branch out on his own where he eventually enjoyed entrepreneurial success with his carpenter/handyman business. Frank’s successful business blessed his family with everything they could every wish for, he was often heard saying… “we truly got to live the American dream!”

Besides his extraordinary work ethic, Frank always lent a helping hand to anyone who needed help. Frank was beloved by countless family and friends who were blessed to receive endless acts of kindness and generosity from such a big-hearted man who would take the shirt off his back to help anyone in need. He possessed a heart of gold and infectious zest for life.

Frank was known for his love for family, friends and life. He was a member of the Italian American Civic League where he enjoyed dancing with his wife. He also enjoyed traveling, playing cards, golf, bowling and would occasionally burst out singing Opera. Most importantly he loved socializing with his family and friends. If you were his friend, you were his family.

Frank is survived by his wife Maria, son Peter, daughter Linda, four grandchildren Tyler, Cameron, Matthew and Megan. Son-in-law Neil and Daughter-in-law Carolyn.

Frank truly was larger than life, he will be truly missed by family and friends all over the USA and many parts of Sicily.
