Frank was born on Oct. 16, 1951, in Sicily, Italy, a son of Giuseppe and Francesca Randazo Pizzurro.

Frank and his family came to the United States in July of 1966, where they settled in Queens, New York. In 1983, they came to Warren, where Frank and his brothers started the famous “Brother’s Pizza.” Frank worked at the Cortland location for many years, until he started Francesco’s in Hubbard. Outside of work, Frank enjoyed gambling and was also a horse jockey for many years. He was a big New York Giants fan.

Frank will always be remembered by his special friend, Candy Wetzel of Cortland; brothers, Sal, Peter, Angelo (DeAnna) and Joe Pizzurro; sister, Anna Maria Randazo of Sicily; and many loved nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, Frank was preceded in death by his brothers, Antonio “Nino,” and Giovanni Pizzurro.
