Frank Thomas Mancuso

Frank was a lover of gardening… flowering plants and vegetables… Sadly… he suffered chronic pain for all the years I have known him… In addition.. he withstood a slew full of other ailments… Despite intense pain…. he took dedicated tender loving care of the communal garden area of RAMBLEWOOD mobile home park with little or no compensation from the owners… His own property was immaculate… a wonderful yard, garden and deck area. He loved leaf blowing not only his property but the rest of the neighborhood. Also… he was very generous… He would give away fresh veggies…He helped neighbors… Sadly… It got especially rough for him after his Mom died… But somehow… he would keep on keeping on…

Frank was a very kind man to me always. I remember the parties and him barbequing and he always enjoyed it. He was a great gardener, so proud of his vegetables. He love his girls Angelica and Diana as they loved him also. May you rest in peace.

Frank was really caring about others. He use to tell me stories about when he was young and would visit his friend who loved animals. Frank also loved animals. He would take me (sister-in-law) to Pennsylvania to the animal auction to get farm animals like rabbits and chickens for his yard. It was nice talking to him when we were doing those long rides because he was so good about telling his stories about his life.

Frank was never the same after he met my mom Dorothy Campbell when he visited Oregon. She introduced him to the animal auctions that she would go to. She loved animals and noticed how much Frank loved animals. They had a special connection because of this.

You made beautiful children that have your light inside them. I hope you are in the biggest most beautiful garden possible! Rest in peace !

Hello everyone for those of you that don’t know me my name is Teresa as Frank’s wife of 16 years I wanted to share together. We have two daughters and Angelica and Diana whom Frank loved you dearly. He was very proud to be a girl dad and proud of all their accomplishments from watching them being born to watching them take their first steps, as well as hearing their first words da da . Those girls knew from the beginning their dad was a special guy. Frank worked hard to provide for his family we shared a cute house and metal island with an amazing backyard, whom Frank took pride in to make it a happy place for anyone that came to visit his love of gardening showed in every detail of the yard as I really believe the Lord bless the works of Frank’s hands little did I know in no time our yard would be filled with all sorts of critters after a trip to Oregon to visit my family and visit grandma Dorothy‘s 10 acre farm it sparked an idea a
In Frank let’s get some critters of our own. when we got back to New York, Frank didn’t waste any time finding an animal auction in Pennsylvania. Frank became well known at the auction and even had his own call number. I never knew what was coming home with us, but I knew our number by heart 2113 and every time I heard it I would laugh and think oh no he did it again.! Over the next few years our collection grew in size it included a sort of chickens, rabbits goats, guinea pigs three pigs as well as dogs, cats and even a parrot summers at the Mancuso house was always a lot of fun. We had many parties with friends and family fun in the pool and late night fireworks shows Frank and I love to entertain he love to barbecue and feed a crowd. Frank had a very generous heart. I sure had some treasured memories, but sadly, our marriage ended when the girls were in junior high in high school we lost connection for quite some time but did happily reconnect a few years later not romantically but through the gift of forgiveness and a simple heartfelt meaningful words. I’m truly sorry Teresa There was a healing for my broken heart that day, and even more heart healing as the kindness of Jesus drew us closer. Liam and Frank were able to have a close relationship and through that it turned into a strong bond. Frank and Liam loved each other. Frank treated Liam like his son and always had an over abundance of hugs waiting for him. I am truly grateful for the last few years we got to spend together, including my birthday when he came to my home and even more a party hat that was a lot to ask of Frank as he loved his hair and didn’t want to mess it up. We also got to go horseback riding out to the movies and out to dinner for Mother’s Day the last time I saw Frank was this past month as some of the family went out to dinner and back to his place to celebrate. We ate his favorite dessert cheesecake we sing happy birthday took pictures and dance to his favorite song the Rapper’s Delight I can remember cousin Lisa singing the Christian version of happy birthday. The words were may you find Jesus near every day of the year and may you have the best year you ever had Those lyrics stood out to me because it came to pass. This was the year Frank got to meet Jesus face-to-face to be gone from the bodies to be present with the Lord. I love you, Frank until we meet again as I close. I hope you can all relate to what a blessing it was to know Frank I’m sure like me you have strong and special memories that will never That will never die. They will live on and some so fragile they disappear like bubbles in a glass if you can look back and catch a few moments or trace his smile to a memory, you too are blessed, my friend I want to share a Bible scripture from numbers 6:24 It reads the Lord bless you and keep you the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace …..I’m glad you were part of my story Frank , All my love doll face

Frank was a kind, caring, fun loving, and dependable man. Someone who you can count on to be there for you when you needed someone to just talk to. He was like a father to me. Thou we were far apart he would always call out text me and see how I was doing. He’s in a better place now free of pain and misery. God called home
