Frank Vernacchio is a husband, father, grandfather and long time resident of Delaware County. Frank is a self employed auto body repairman who suddenly suffered a heart attack which subsequently led to quadruple heart by-pass surgery and a long lengthy rehabilitation. In this day and age it's unfortunate that many people suffer from cardiac illnesses; however in Frank's case it may be his passion for others that put the strain on his heart. You see, Frank has touched the lives of not hundreds but thousands of families. He is best known for being the guy who will 'Give you the shirt off his back'.
In addition to his auto body career, many years ago Frank began to get involved in youth ice hockey in the community. Since then, Frank has volunteered thousands of hours to kids in the community sharpening their skates and using his technical skills to save families added expense by repairing their hockey equipment. Because of Frank's generosity thousands of children are able to participate in something positive which is priceless in today's society. Franks skills are not limited to just auto body and hockey, he is a knowledgeable person with a lifetime worth of experience that he has always offered to both friends and strangers. He would sacrifice his own needs to help others without expecting any financial reward. Frank is one in a million who sincerely helps others from the heart. With that being said, now Frank needs our help. Because of his recent health problems, Frank for the first time in over six decades is unable to work and will face financial hardships. We, "The Friends of Frank" (FOF) are reaching out desperately seeking help from any professionals and business owners who could make contributions or donations to help us raise money to help Frank in this time of need.
Anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated. FOF is currently hosting a benefit on April 5, 2008 at the St. Kevin's Hall in Springfield to raise money for Frank and his family. We are currently looking for items to be raffled off as well as paper goods, food, beverages and any other items that are used in these fundraiser's.
Sincerely,
Friends of Frank (FOF)
