Frank Giglio, age 88, of Greenville, passed away Thursday morning, March 27, 2014 at Our Place Cares, Greenville. The son of Peter & Josephine (Belsito) Giglio, he was born on April 25, 1925 in Caro and attended Greenville High School. A veteran of the U.S. Army, Frank retired from the former Gibson Refrigerator Company in 1986 where he worked for over 40 years as a union electrician.

An avid reader, Frank also enjoyed golfing and bowling and had been a member of the Ray I. Booth American Legion Post 101, as well as a life-long member of St. Charles Catholic Parish. In retirement, Frank stayed healthy by walking everyday and also doing aerobics.

He was preceded in death by his parents; an infant brother, baby Frank; an infant sister, baby Angelene; four brothers, Alfred, George, John, and William; three sisters, Sister Dorothy Giglio, O.P., Betty Povolo, and Ida Rittersdorf; and two brothers-in-law, Raymond Povolo and Carl Rittersdorf.

Surviving are his sisters, Mary R. Giglio, of Traverse City, Angela M. Giglio, and Arlene Giglio, both of Greenville; his special friend, Glenna Kimmel of Greenville; two sisters-in-law, Elaine Giglio of Comstock Park, and Carol Giglio-Filer of Scottsdale, Arizona; several nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews; his golf partner and friend, Ethan Silverthorne of Greenville.
