Frank Garofalo, age 94, passed away peacefully on June 10, 2025.
A proud Army veteran, Frank served his country with honor and was a dedicated member of the Catholic War Veterans (CWV). His patriotism and unwavering commitment to service were defining aspects of his life.
After his Army service, he worked for over 40 years at the American Brass and Copper Company, where his hard work and commitment were respected by colleagues and friends alike.
Frank was a beloved brother and uncle, known for his political convictions, love of horse racing and the lottery, quiet strength, and loyal devotion to family. He was predeceased by his cherished wife Gloria Pascuzzo Garofalo, his longtime partner Evelyn Zanowiak, his sisters Diane and Marietta Garofalo, and his brother Peter Garofalo.
He leaves behind his brother Richard Garofalo; his brother Robert Garofalo, and wife Nancy; his two nephews Jeffrey Garofalo and wife Keri, along with their children Anthony and Gianna; and Robert Garofalo, Jr. and wife Kristine. He also leaves behind fond memories and the lasting legacy of a life marked by service, hard work, and love.
