Nunzio J. “Frank” Napoli

On January 24, 2026, of Washington Twp. Age 87. Beloved husband of Patricia A. (nee Wood). Devoted father of Patricia Bradford (Lee), Dina Dodd (Edward), Nancy Napoli, Danielle Farese (Dominick) and Francis Napoli (Nati). Loving grandfather of Jake, Natalie, Owen, Preston, Frankie, Waverly and Elle. Dear brother of Angela Smithe and the late Maria Tomassetti. Loved by many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Frank loved spending time with his family and friends more than anything, especially when hosting family parties or dining out at area restaurants, where he had many friends among the staff (and insured many restaurant owners through his 60 years of work as an insurance agent at State Farm). A connoisseur of fine wine, he also loved a glass of Amarone at one of his dinners. An avid fisherman since the age of 13 (when he won a local fishing contest), he loved trolling for a big catch down the shore and fly-fishing in Pulaski, NY. His love of the shore also extended to trips to the Wildwood boardwalk, where he would ride the waterslides with his kids when they were younger. He especially loved spoiling his grandchildren every chance he could (and loved giving them scratch-off tickets at every big family birthday or holiday party).

Frank and Patricia shared a love of animals, and spoiled dozens of cats and dogs over the years (especially Rocky). He treasured his yearly vacations with her to St. Maarten, especially when the weather was freezing here in New Jersey.

Beloved by the neighbors and known throughout the neighborhood, his contagious laugh (and his penchant for repeated sneezes) will be sorely missed by everyone who loved him. He was always someone people could count on for advice or guidance, and his calm demeanor was always a comfort to his family, friends and clients. His strong faith also helped him guide others over his 15 years of teaching CCD at Holy Family.

Family and friends are invited to attend his visitation Monday, February 2^nd, 10:30 AM-12:00 PM at the Church of the Holy Family 226 Hurffville Road, Washington Twp. Mass of Christian Burial 12:00 PM.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Sending my deepest and heartfelt condolences to the entire Napoli family. Growing up in Old Wedgwood, I was blessed to have known him for so many years. As one of my good childhood friend's Dads, to my CCD teacher, to my fellow parishioner, to my neighbor ... he was never without a smile and always left my company making me feel better than I did before he arrived. Thinking of you all and praying for peace during these difficult days.

I will always remember Frank with a smile and ready to help you . My sincere condolence to Pat and family.

Mrs. Napoli & Family. Sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Napoli. Great person and a great family. Our prayers are with you at this time. Always remember the good old days in Wedgwood.

Oh, Pat, I was saddened to learn of the passing of your beloved Frank. I have no words to console you. Please know that I am praying for you and your family at this time of great sorrow. May you find comfort in the good memories you and Frank shared over your years together.

Pat and Family, Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather, Frank. He was one of the Most Generous, Kind, and Considerate people we ever knew. He will be missed by all whose lives he touched. Rest in Peace Frank Frank and Marguerite Miscavage

Danielle and family, so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Dad. Barbara Bennett

One of the greatest families I ever met lived 2 doors down from my childhood home, The Napoli’s. The kids - Patti, Nancy, Dina, Danielle & Frank lead by Mrs. Nap (Pat) and ‘The Man’ Mr. Nap (Frank). I modeled my relationship after theirs, Mr. Nap would take Mrs. Nap out to dinner in Philly almost every weekend. I learned first hand how to treat a wife. I proposed to Jane at Bookbinders (a favorite of theirs) and I couldn’t wait to tell them. They had an open door and open pool policy. Mr. Nap hired us to do odd jobs around their house, even when Mr. Ruffo’s garage door broke he paid me to fix it. Wherever my life took me, my conversations with The Naps were never far away. When we moved to PA I told him “now you can be my insurance man too!” and a great insurance man he was. He and Mrs. Nap advised me every step of the way through childhood and still today we would talk on the phone often. They were always there for me. When we had Sarah, I continued to get great fatherly advice. Before Sarah got married, he told Bart to ‘get busy’..it wasn’t long before he proposed. Our families used to play hockey in the court, all the neighbors would play. I was the goalie, Nancy (noon) had the hardest slap shot I ever faced. Seeing my interest in hockey, Mr. Nap took me to my first Flyers game, just me and him. His laugh and excitement for the game was contagious, I was hooked. When there was a fight, he told me to stand on the seat to get a better look! The stories could go on and on. To Mrs. Nap, Patti, Nancy, Dina, Danielle, Frank and their families, I don’t have to tell you how much he meant to me. I’m sure you all know that already. I thought this day would never come, he will always be with me and my family!

I am so very sorry to hear of Mr. Nap passing. He has always been an example to me of how I need to be toward my wife and children. He was a great man and always had time for me growing up. Mrs Nap and family I am praying for all of you. May the Lord Bless you and keep you. Love you Jeff Betteridge

Sending heartfelt condolences to The Napoli Family. May you honor Frank’s, your beautiful Dad’s, memory and the lasting impact he has made on all of your lives. Years of guidance, humor, that ‘constant’, in ALL of your lives. May his influence live on daily, in your lives. Mr. Napoli, known to many of us… you will truly be missed🙏 The Rohmer Family

We light this candle to remember our dear friend, Frank Napoli. We lift up his name and offer thanks for his life, the beautiful legacy, (his wife Pat and five children), he has left behind, holding Frank’s memory as a blessing🙏 The Rohmer Family

Sorry to hear this sad news I know it’s never long enough but he had a good run. Condolences from our family to yours. We will say prayers for Frank Rest in peace.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Oh, We are so very sorry to learn of Frank’s passing! He left a wonderful legacy in his children and grandchildren. Frank was one of the good guys. We will hold Pat and his family close to our heart as they mourn his passing—as we all mourn his passing!

I love you, Dad. I’m heartbroken I couldn’t say goodbye. Thank you for everything I love you so much.

Pat and children, we send our loving condolences to you all on the passing of Frank. What a beautiful legacy he leaves with this beautiful and caring family. We will always cherish the fond memories we shared with your family. We love you all. Barbara, John, and children

I am just heartbroken. So happy that my wife and I were able to stop over not long ago to share a moment of time together. My heart goes out to the entire family. Mr. Nap was just the absolute best. So kind and gentle, offering wise advice on many topics, followed by something to make you laugh just to bring a smile to your face. He will be forever a part of my heart.

My deepest condolences and also a burst of joy to have reunited with the Napoli’s over Christmas Eve. My dad (Jim Wilson) was their mailman and there were wonderful stories thru the early years of my childhood. One were i was a toddler and told i walked out onto their pool cover (i was the first kid). But with the stories became a fast forward to this past christmas to see everyone and the grandkids and spend that time meant the world to me .. Beloved Mr. Napoli.

I am so very sorry Danielle! ..sending hugs and deepest condolences for your dad!

I just saw this and wanted to say how very sorry I am for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers that you and your family get through such a sad time. God Bless you all.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My deepest sympathy to the Napoli family. You are in my prayers.

Mr. Napoli was truly a great man — you could never say a bad word about him, ever. He helped me so much, even co-signing two car loans for me during times when my parents were going through difficult struggles. He was always there when I needed him the most. My deepest condolences to Mrs. Napoli and the entire family. I’ve always had a great relationship with the whole family — Nancy, Dina, Danielle, and Frankie — just all great people. Patti and I were always very close, especially working together in the casinos. We had such a great relationship, but that was just how it was back then — everyone was family in the neighborhood. He will always be remembered and deeply missed..

My beloved brother, I will keep you in my heart forever and miss you always. Rest in peace. Love your sister, Ange

In my very first family home, We lived next-door to the Napoli’s. My mom and dad quickly became the best of friends with my aunt Pat and Uncle Frank, who were also my godparents. We were not related by blood, but we were family nonetheless! They always treated me like one of their own, and I always loved them both dearly ! I spent so much time with my best friend Dina and practically lived at their house.. one thing I can say about my Uncle Frank was he was the calmest , nicest, genuinely happy man. I never heard him raise his voice ,not once. Anyone that knew him knew he was a true joy to be around. My heart goes out to the entire family, and especially my aunt Pat. May you all take time to heal, and hopefully the good memories can eventually be treasures of your heart ❤️ so very sorry for your loss.

To my “brother” Frank…. I’ll miss you! 💕

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
