DeSario Family,
So sorry to hear of Francis's passing into the afterlife. I have memories of him coming into my deli in Dedham for so many years. And of running into him on many occasions while visiting my old neighborhood in the North End. May you rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss. I was lucky to work security w/Frank at Fenway Park for years and he was so much fun to talk with, he had awesome stories and was so caring, he loved helping people. Condolences to your family during this difficult time-Craig Dwyer

My sincere condolences to Frank's family. Frank was the best of the best. When ever I would meet Frank on the street he always had the most warming and welcoming smile. My grandmother was Teresa DeSario from Terlizzi Italy. Frank and I could never find our family ties, but I know in my heart that we are cousins. Rest in Peace Frank.

The first description out of anyone’s mouth when describing Franks: he is a real gentleman. He always had a kind word to say, and was willing to lend a helping hand or advice. I will always have the fond memories of working with Frank on the BPD.....may he rest in peace

Frank was a great guy and a great Cop. I remembert Frank from my days working at the State House with the Mass State Police. I remember Frank letting my oldest Granddaughter sit on his BP Motorcycle for a photo shoot...Often saw him on his bike in the North End..He will be missed by all who knew him....RIP Frank...

May God bless you and your family Geri. It has been awhile, but it was always nice to see Frank with you, when you would come to the Cape.

Geri and family,
We were so very sorry to learn of Frank’s death. He was such a nice guy, always smiling and happy. We will keep him and all of you in our prayers.

I had the honor of working with Frank for many years in the TPF. He was a good and descent man who dedicated his life in the service of the citizens of the City of Boston. There were few in the north End or Government Center who did not know him and have the greatest respect for Frank.
He was always a pleasure to be around and I am sure will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Rest in Peace my friend, your Form 16 is approved.

I had the pleasure of working at Fenway with Frank for 8 seasons, during that time Frank was always one of the first people to greet me before I’d clock in. He had a rare way about him, making you feel like you were his favorite person in the world, that everything you did or said was so special. Years after leaving Fenway I’d always make sure that I’d stop and visit Frank, Jack and Beau. No visit was complete without a hug from Frank. Thank you for being you, Frank. Love and thoughts are with all of the DeSarios and Frank’s countless friends.

Frank was the first person that would greet me as I entered Fenway Park to report to work. We always chatted about our favorite wines, cannolis and the beach. I was excited to have Frank sign a copy of his book Badge #1 for me and display it proudly on my bookcase. I will certainly miss him and our talks together. RIP dear friend.

Frankie was one of the Good Guys. Always a gentleman in the finest traditions. He will be missed by all. Always had that little grin.

Frank was truly one of the best to ever serve on the Boston Police Department who proudly wore badge Number “1” as senior patrolman on the job, and will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Rest In Peace my friend.
