Frank was born in Sanford, ME and a longtime resident of Malden. He was the co -owner with his twin brother Anthony of A. C. Vaccaro Floor Sanding Company for 40 years. Frank was also a member of the Knights of Columbus.Frank had a gift of making connections with people. Standing in a room full of strangers, he could strike up a conversation with anyone. He has touched the lives of so many and always made everyone around him feel special in their own way. At the end of the day, he would sit in his recliner and make his nightly phone calls to everyone he cared for, just to check in. “Wear your seat belt and lock your doors” was his way of telling you how much he loved you. From bringing donuts on Sundays to just stopping in to say “hi,” Frank always made sure his family and friends knew how much they meant to him. His presence will be greatly missed but never forgotten and his love and memory will live on through his family and friends every day.

He is also survived by cousins, godchildren and many friends.
