It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Frank Agostino on January 20, 2026, just days before what would have been his 86th birthday. Frank left us due to the complications of an aortic dissection, a sudden and devastating heart condition that he was unaware of.

Frank came to this country from Italy at just 16 years old and over the course of his remarkable life, he built not just a successful upholstery and furniture repair business as a master craftsman but an entire life defined by kindness, generosity, problem-solving and devotion to family. He built his home with his own hands, and he was the person everyone called when something needed fixing or a creative solution. Frank was the kind of man who gave more than he ever asked for in return—humble, kind, and unforgettable to everyone fortunate enough to know him. His smile glistened in his eyes and lit up every room he entered.

A few years ago, one of Frank's grandsons experienced a sudden cardiac arrest due to undiagnosed myocarditis. Frank never forgot how close his family came to an unimaginable loss that day and how the right response in those critical moments made the difference between survival or tragedy.

In lieu of flowers, Frank's family asks that donations be made to Simon's Heart's Got AED program. This vital initiative helps schools, sports teams and community organizations obtain lifesaving automated external defibrillators. We're hoping to donate three automated external defibrillators (AED) in memory of his life.

Although Frank's condition was such that we couldn't save him, we want to ensure that when someone can be saved, when seconds count and the right equipment is there, families don't have to face this heartbreak. Your donation in Frank's memory will honor the legacy of a man who spent his life building, fixing, and protecting the people he loved.
