My heart goes out to Debbie and Chris and all the family members. I can honestly say, Frank was the best man I ever knew and I had the privilege of knowing and working with him since the late 70´s in many musical venues and also at GROSSMAN LUMBER. He is greatly missed.
Condolences to Chris and his mom, from myself and the other Information Technology Office staff at CT State Community College Middlesex. Frank’s wit and funny turns of phrase had me smiling (and sometimes laughing) when he stopped by every now and then. Certainly he will be missed and remembered.

Chris and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Although I never met Frank/Mr. Grande , I was impressed with Chris from the moment we met at mxcc and discussed Mini Coopers, television, music, etc. Producing a wonderful son is no accident so I know Frank was equally wonderful. Sincere sympathy to Deborah and to all of you at this most difficult time.
Frank was a very special person. As the song lyrics say “loved by many, hated by none.”
Our family’s love and sincerest condolences go out to Deb, Chris and Frank’s family. He will be sorely missed but his legacy and the great memories we all have of him will last the rest of our lives.
Chris, thinking of you & your family. Sending love & a hug your way. Deepest condolences.
Debbie and Chris, My heart was deeply saddened to hear of Frankie’s passing. I have very fond memories from our childhood playing together at Grandma and Grandpas house and at many family picnics at the beach. You both are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. May he rest in peace. 🙏
Love Cousin Betty
Our deepest condolences and sympathy to Debbie, Chris, and the family. Frank will be truly missed in our hearts, and I especially will miss the opportunity to play music with such a talented and gifted musician.
My deepest condolences, wishing peace for your family filled with love and happy memories.
Love, Cathy and Nad Hoyt

Debbie, I am so very sorry to hear this. It was only a year ago that our class from St. Rose got together and it was so good reconnecting with Frank and getting to know you. That was such a great time. Please know that I will keep him and your family in my prayers.
