Frank was born May 28, 1924 in Cleveland.  He was preceded in death by his parents Luke & Angelina Corniello, brother Anthony Corniello, cousin Jean Corniello & nephew Ross A. Furcello.  He was a resident of Seven Hills, OH for 45 years before moving to Medina in 2007 to be closer to family.

Frank enjoyed watching all sports and playing baseball (his favorite sport) as a youth and young adult.  He also was on many bowling leagues and enjoyed golfing with his brother.  He and Rita loved music including ballroom and polka dancing and attended many Home Days enjoying polka bands.  They also belonged to a card club (Penny Poker) with family and close friends for over 50 years. Gardening was also a favorite hobby but Frank’s GREATEST pride & joy was his family and family activities.  He clearly loved his family unconditionally and lived by the motto “FAMILY FIRST” his entire life. He was a GREAT son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend and loved by all.

The family would like to express their deep appreciation and gratitude to the staff at Medina Meadows & Hospice of Medina County/Western Reserve for their compassionate and exceptional care in his final months and days to both Frank and family.
