On January 9, 2023, Charles Franklin (Frank) Rinaca Jr. passed away peacefully in the care of Reston Hospital. Frank is survived by his children Aaron, Kristen, Lynne and Todd and his grandchildren Evan, Samantha, Addison, Kaleb and Aaron. He is also survived by his brother Ronnie and nephews Alex and Derrick. Frank has two living uncles, Stan Crider and Eddie Rinaca and several stepchildren to include Tracy, Robin and Derrick, and their children Nicole, Ashlie, Josh and Holly and her daughter Makayla.
Frank was known as a generous, light-hearted, and compassionate soul. He loved the simple things in life such as spending time with his family and visiting his home in Florida during the winter months. He graduated from Danville Technical Institute with a degree in drafting and design, which opened the doors to his early career working for the Naval Shipyards in Norfolk, VA. While drafting at the Shipyards, Frank discovered his love of welding which would later become his lifelong career as one of the most certified and highly regarded welders at Merck & Co. in Elkton, VA. Frank had many longtime interests to include restoring countless Corvettes and building numerous classic motorcycles and hot rods. For a period of time, Frank enjoyed pit crewing for drag racing pioneer K.S. Pittman and in his later years he gathered a collection of incredibly rare antique oil lamps.
Frank was a man who always liked to help those in need, asking nothing in return. He will be greatly missed by his loving family and friends.
We are sincerely grateful to the many friends and family members who have given us support and comfort during this time of loss.
