Franca, you and your family are in my prayers. Please let me know if there is anything at all that I or my family can do for you. Love you.

My father was a beautiful human being. Though I am experiencing a heartache I was not aware existed, I cry only for myself and not for him. I know he is resting peacefully and is now on a journey to eternal happiness.

Frank was one of the funniest people I had the opportunity to know who just adored his family. Thank goodness for Facebook. I was able to get back in touch w/ my friend before he left. God Bless

The world has lost a father, a husband, and a great man. The sun shines just a little dimmer here on earth while the gates of heaven now glow all the more brightly. He left this world too quickly for all of us, although everyone who was fortunate enough to have known him was better off for it. I will miss him dearly, however, he will continue to live strong in our hearts and memories and therefore he can never really be gone.
Rose DeFinis left a message on September 22, 2009:

Christian M. DeSanto left a message on September 22, 2009:
My father understood. We could speak without words. He knew me and my thoughts and loved and accepted me for who I am. I will never stop loving you dad, and I'll do my best to achieve in life everything that we both know this world has to offer.

Dear DeSanto Family, We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. Frank was a great father, husband, and gentleman. We had the pleasure of teaching his children and attending the beautiful wedding of Franca. We will miss him.

Mrs. DeSanto, Franca, Matt, Christian, Rich and Jen, I cannot even begin to understand what you are all going through during this hardship and I won't even try. Even though I have not physically been in all of your lives for the 15 years that I have known Franca, each of you have frequently been in my memories and conversations with others. During my first time away from home all of you welcomed me back in '94 openly and as part of your family. I will never forget the kindness I was given by each of you and the impact both Mr. and Mrs. DeSanto had on my development into adulthood. I have very fond memories of Mr. DeSanto and those memories I will continue to share with those around me. Even though I was not immediately in his life throughout the years he will continue to be in mine and others as I share my memories of Mr. DeSanto with those around me. Sending you all of my love, prayers and thoughts always. m.

So funny and caring, Frank was a supportive colleague and wonderful friend. I will always remember our talks and time together, what sticks out most in my memory was the trememdous love he had for his wife and children, such pride. Frank will always be remembered for his compassion and wonderful sense of humor. I know that he has touched many lives in the same way as well.
