Dad you are and always will be my hero. You were the hardest working person I ever met. You made me the person I am today. You were an amazing father and my best friend. I will also remember your kindness and generosity to everyone who was lucky enough to met you.
I will think of you everyday for the rest of my life.
May the Lord forever rest your soul in everlasting peace and joy.
Dad every day we see your mannerisms in both Anthony and Jessica. When we all work together I always remind them that you worked so hard that we would have to towel you down between jobs.
I will never forget all the times you backed me up on the overnight shift when I would have a car stopped and you were going to work. Thank you for treating Joyce like a daughter.
Love you Buddy!
Frank I remember when you and your son would come into my diner in Firelite for breakfast. Afterwards my wife and I would marvel at how fast you would clean all the windows in the shopping center. We would laugh as we watched your son struggle trying to keep up with you.
May you rest in peace.

We know Frank Jr. Given how he turned out his father must have been awesome.
so sorry for your loss,our thoughts and prayers to your family. God bless you all.
Poppy, you will always be in my heart forever. I’m so lucky to work with my father and brother to carry on your tradition with the cleaning business. Too bad your Alzheimer’s had started when I was just a little girl but we went through that awful disease with you just in a different way. All the memories we had shared together will never be forgotten about. The best time is when Nonie and you lived with us because we got to see you every morning and night. Love you always and forever! Love your Granddaughter.
I have been fortunate and blessed to have known Frank Esposito, Sr. and his entire family since the time I become an Orange Police Officer. Frank was always quick with a smile and an opinion if he entered a conversation. He was an exceptional man, husband, father and grandfather. He worked all kinds of hours for his own well established cleaning business and had an exceptional reputation. He was extremely strong physically and his work ethics were second to none. He worked very hard to provide for his family. There was nothing more he loved than is family. For those who did not know Frank, Sr. all one has to do is look at Frank, Jr. Both Frank's character,reputation and integrity is beyond reproach.The family business the Frank, Sr. founded, Frank and Son Cleaning Services,
continues today and is operated by Frank Esposito, Jr and his children. Frank, Sr. was a character at times too and made you laugh. Frank Sr. was a blessing to all who did had the opportunity to know him. God made Frank, Sr. and threw his mold away. God kept a corned piece for Frank, Jr. Frank Sr. touched your heart in a way that you will never forget. God Bless Frank Sr. with his mercy and grace always. I know that Frank, Sr. is one of Good's angels and he is at peace.
I am honored to have been requested to read the family prepared Eulogy for Erank Esposito, Sr.
