Frank loved Corvettes and Harleys. Coming from a musical family, he developed a passion for music that he passed on to his children.

Traci, Tony, Andrea and Alyson, I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Mr. DiPiazza was like a second Father to me, given the amount of time I spent at your house growing up. I will always remember him as a gentle, funny hard working man and will always hold onto my fond memories of him, but will miss his kind humor...dubbing me "Hollywood" based my ridiculous high top football cleats,...giving me kind word of encouragement "bet that wont happen again" after getting knocked on my butt in football...remembering him roll up the street on his Harley only to shake his head at whatever stupid project Tony and I found ourselves getting into...RIP "Mr. DiPiazza", you will be deeply missed.
