Frank Joseph Vitalo Jr. succumbed to complications from cardiac arrest on Dec. 7. He was welcomed into heaven by his Dad and other loved ones who preceded him.

For many years, he was a heavy equipment operator and owner of V Services. He was a gentle soul who loved all animals. His favorite band was Clutch.

Frank enjoyed vacationing in Tennessee and loved helping others.

He is survived by his mother, Maureen (Quinn) Vitalo; his fiancée, Amber Altvater; and daughter, Kadence, who he loved very much.

Our hearts are broken. We love you, Frank.
