Lit a candle in memory of Frank P. Salvo
I remember playing a game of cribbage with Uncle Frank up in Maine… a long game of cribbage. He told one bad joke after another. To this day I can’t figure out if he thought the jokes were actually funny or if he was just messing with me. I am pretty sure he was just messing with me. Rest in peace Uncle Frank and may your family be strong in the days to come.
Our condolences to Jean, Chris, Carrie, Jason and the rest of the Salvo family. Frank was a dear friend and he will be missed.
I loved Frank. Frank a great person and loving family man. I enjoyed playing cribbage and listening to his jokes, oh those jokes! Remember last summer in Maine cleaning and launching the boat and drowning my cell phone. Frank influenced me to be a more positive person, Frank’s Coca Cola glass was always half full never half empty. Rest in pease my good man you will be missed.
My sincere condolences. Thinking of all of you, wishing you peace and comfort.

Work became so simpler with Frank around, I used to get nervous being in front of people but he would always stand by my side while we did our auctions. Just his confident presence made the difference. Through him I met great people. To his wife and children, my wife and I send our deepest sympathies. Rest in peace Frank
On behalf of the Reading Public Schools, our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Frank P. Salvo during this time of sorrow.
We were so blessed to have had the priviledge of living next door to Jean and Frank for over 30 years. Frank was always there to lend a hand with knowledge and his tools, to help us with the numerous things we needed. He always had his great sense of humor when he was working with us (we had no knowledge of mechanical things) and I am sure over the years he helped us hundred’s of times. Frank will be greatly missed by those whose lives he touched. Our condolences go out to Jean, Chris, Carrie and Jason and the rest of Frank’s family. and friends.

How saddened we are to hear of Frank’s passing. As his teaching colleague for many years, I can remember our talks about his motivational classroom activities to heighten student interest in mathematics. Teachers learned much from him, and as an administrator, I was privileged to visit his classroom often.
During the time of ‘Downtown Beverly Planning Board Grants’ for residential property renewals, my mother’s kitchen was beautifully and expertly renovated by his contracting firm. Our family sends sincerest condolences to Jean and Frank’s family.

RIP Frank. Thank you for being such a dear friend to my brother and his family all these years. I always looked forward to seeing you and yours in Maine. You were reading to us in this pic. (Circa 1999) You had us all in stitches! I remember the day I got my drivers license you helped me not be the scared kid that I was. Thank you Frank. My deepest sympathies to Jean and all of the Salvo family and friends.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to the Salvo family. We’re thinking of you.
