Frank J. Felice passed away on Monday, July 13, 2015. He was 77 years old.
Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Josephine Felice.
He is survived by his wife, Clarice, his son, Joseph (Sharyl) Felice, daughter, Claire DelCurto, son, Peter (Tami) Felice, son, Rico (Stephanie) Felice and daughter, Ticia Felice. Grandchildren, Dacien Felice, Tristan Felice, Giano DelCurto, Michaela DelCurto, DiMarco DelCurto, Troy Showalter, Justice Felice, Peter Felice and Carli Felice.
Frank was raised in the family canning business, Hollister Canning Company, where he worked as a manager. He continued his career in canning, taking over management for T.H. Richards Canning Company, in Sacramento CA.
Frank was proud of helping turn around a bankrupt company in our capital. Later in life, Frank got his Real Estate license and was proud to work on subdivisions, as well as working for his loving daughter, Claire.
Frank’s most proud accomplishments were his children and his grandchildren. In retirement, he devoted all of his time to them.
Frank did everything in his power to be with all his children and grandchildren at every game they played. If he didn’t coach or assist, he volunteered to work, just to be close to his kids.
No hobbies got in the way of Frank’s passion for seeing as many track meets, softball, football, volleyball, baseball game, that any child, grandchild, niece and nephew or cousin played. The only regret he ever had was not being able to make an event, when more than one was scheduled at the same time, where he never wanted to disappoint one of his “babes”.
F rank’s only second love to Clarice, was cooking! His way to unite his whole family was with his meals. He poured all his love of his family into his cooking and it showed!
Papa, as he was so loving called by all of us, will forever be in his families hearts.
