Frank was born on November 1st, 1943 in Yonkers, New York. Frank was in the commercial refrigeration business where he loved serving his community and building relationships. Early in life, Frank brought three beautiful daughters into the world and almost two decades later, two sons followed. After 41 years being self-employed, he kept busy driving school busses until he moved to Colorado where he served as an Ambulance Driver with South Fork Fire Rescue until his health declined and he moved back home.
Frank “Pop” was known as a kind and gentle man who was always working and always on the move. He made lifelong friends and was an amazing dad, brother, uncle, and friend. He was loved so much and could always find the right words to make you smile.

I wanted to share one of the greatest complements you and i have ever received together.
The morning you passed just so happened to be my Boss “Bill Range” 38th Birthday, same age as me. He had called to let me know not to worry about work and to just take care of Business. Now this is the guy I’ve always told you about and how working for him reminds me of working for you. We go above and beyond to get the job done rite every time. Simply, exceeding expectations.
About an hour later I received a text message from Bill Stating,
“Michael,
You are one of the special ones…consumed with passion but a kind heart. One of the hardest working people that I have ever met. You have all the qualities that make a great person inside and out, those that are lucky enough to call you a friend are better people just because of your unbelievable kind and caring nature. Hold you head high my friend these are all things that were ingrained in you at a young age. Your father had to be a hell of a guy to raise you the way he did.
I know I told you all this on the phone, but I wanted to put it into writing so if you are ever having a bad day and don’t want to talk to anyone you can pull this up and read it.”
…at that moment i realized you will forever be immortalized.
Dad,
I wanted to share this with you because it all stared with you. Your reflection shines brighter than a glistening diamond.
Thank you so much for being such a great teacher to not only Anthony and I but to each and every one of our friends and family.
I Love and Miss you so much!
Your son,
Michael Anthony Perrone
Dad
When Anthony called me the morning you passed I thought he was calling to say hi but that is surely not the way it went to say I was shocked I just screamed I still can’t believe it. You where doing do good. You called me the night before but I missed the call a part of me wish I didn’t.but the other part of me is glad because now I have you voice forever. I will miss your laugh your smile and most of all your sense of humor. Loving you forever
Your youngest daughter
Barbara
Sending love , you are going to be truly missed ❤️
Thanks so much Aunt Donna!! ????❤️
My Dear Brother,
Today I had to say goodbye to you. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. My heart is broken. I can’t believe my life without you. All I want to do is cry in disbelief. I love you so much. Your sister Patti.
Oh Patti, I am so heartbroken over this, I’m sure you understand. Too much death is happening in many families these days. It’s hard to handle such sadness, especially when it’s in your own family. I know now why you got back to me in messenger when you did. I am truly so sorry, I didn’t know at that time because I wasn’t informed. Now that I know can understand how you felt. I only wish I could HUG you and try to comfort you under these circumstances. Dealing with such a loss is not easy. It’s If there’s anything I can do let me know. Believe me, it’s going on twelve years now since I lost my best friend, love, soul mate and companion. I still cry thinking about him as if it happened yesterday. The love in your heart and all those great memories never go away. They stay with you forever. GOD bless and take care. I’m sure he’s in good hands. Vic and Frank will take good care of him. Vic is probably singing with that God given voice, while Frank is playing the drums and Butch/Frank Jr is playing the piano in heaven. GOD is watching and listening to their music with a big smile. All of you will always be in my daily thoughts. GOD Bless!
