Frank Maresca
Decorated New York City policeman
Frank Maresca, 80, passed away Feb. 14, 2013, in Wilmington, N.C., while visiting his daughter's family.
Frank was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Aug. 24, 1932, and grew up in the archetypal 1940s Brooklyn, where family, stickball, the Dodgers, and socializing on porch stoops ruled the day. Frank was weaned from the Greatest Generation, who endured the Great Depression and won World War II; the youngest of the family's large brood of aunts, uncles and cousins, all living under one grand roof in a venerable Brooklyn brownstone.
Frank lost both his parents and a sibling by the age of 13. After graduating from Brooklyn's revered St. Francis Prep and with the Korean War raging, he enlisted in the USMC, serving with the First Marine Division in the Forgotten War, earning the rank of sergeant.
Returning home to Brooklyn, he would go on to retire a decorated New York City policeman. Shortly thereafter, he found his dream house in Riverside, Pa., and would spend the rest of his life in Pennsylvania.
He ensured his children were enriched in the faith of their forefathers with a Catholic education. Even as a septuagenarian, he remained a dedicated weight lifter, who in his prime, could bench press a small car. He was a man who emulated the Franciscan paradigm of faith through action rather than argument.
Frank was the last of his immediate family, and his passing ends a formidable era that celebrated God, country and family values. Foremost, Frank was a loving father to his children and sorely missed his soul mate, Irene Ferraiuolo Maresca, to the very end. Frank is survived by a daughter, Ellen and son-in-law, Jeff Minnich, and a daughter-in-law, Nicole and son Gregory. He leaves seven grandchildren: Tessa, Joseph, Maria, Monica, Ethan, Vincent and Victor.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 18 E. Center St., Danville, on Friday, Feb. 22 at 11 a.m. Friends may call on the family in St. Hubert's Chapel in the Annex of St. Joseph's Church from 10 a.m. until the time of Mass. Interment will follow at All Saints Cemetery, Elysburg.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Brady Funeral Home, 320 Church St., Danville. Please send online condolences to http://BradyFuneralHome.com.
