Francis "Frank" G. Marino

Francis (Frank) G. Marino, 66, died Tuesday, June 16, at his Momence home, surrounded by his loving family. Frank was born December 14, 1953, in Chicago, a son of the late Peter and Marian (Seriani) Marino. Frank became the third generation in his family to work as a cement mason, joining Cement Masons’ Union Local 502 in 1973. He was a loving father to two daughters, Christina L. and Katelyn R. Marino. Frank’s memory also will be cherished by his former wife and longtime friend, Karen L. Marino, many nieces and nephews, and his siblings and their life partners: Peter S. Marino, late; Jacob, late (Maryann) Marino; Salvatore (Donna, late) Marino; Lucia Matteson (Randy Brown); Gerard (Doris) Marino; Peter V. Marino (Ed Koch). Frank will be remembered for his humor, open heart, open home, love of nature and fondness for his pup, Cody. As Frank wished, a private memorial service will be held by his family. To celebrate Frank’s love of birds, memorials may be sent to the National Audubon Society (https://www.audubon.org/how-to-help) or the American Bird Conservancy (https://abcbirds.org/donate).
