My deepest condolences to the Piazza Family. Frankie was certainly one of a kind, a big guy with a huge heart. He always checked to see if I was hungry, a mushroom truffle pizza with red onions was only ever a wink away. From the very first day working at FABBRICA, till the last day of closing for Covid – he always made it a point to offer help. He always asked if there was anything he could do before leaving… and he always wished his co-workers a good night. He wasn’t the type to clock out and rush out the door. It is a blessing to have known him, a kind gentleman who I won’t soon forget.
Frank the Lord chose to take you into His Garden of Heaven at a very young age for a purpose, he wants you to look over your family and give them strength and hope. The void you leave behind will be hard to fill, however we will take comfort knowing you were a big part of all our lives – your smile, good nature, compassion and outstanding values will not be forgotten. Until we meet again!
My heartfelt condolences goes out to the Piazza family. Frank was always so kind to everyone and a fun person to be around. He spoke of his family often with great fondness. Whenever we worked together he would give me a “Frankie” hug, as we named it. I looked forward to it every time I saw him. On my down days he really picked me up. I’m going to miss his hugs and positive spirit.
Sending our heartfelt sympathies and prayers for the Piazzas. It’s hard to lose someone so young and loving. The Piazzas are a wonderful, kind, loving family and we are grateful to be connected with them. Eternal rest grant unto Frank, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace.
My condolences to the Piazza family from Rene and Matthew.
Frank was a great person full of life and laughs. He was one a the few people I could honestly call my friend and feel completely comfortable being ourselves around eachother. It broke my heart to hear that this kind-hearted person would be with us no longer.
But your memory still lives in all our hearts. I won’t forget the times we went to conventions, camping, having awesome get togethers and staying up late gaming.
It felt too soon my friend, but the heavens have gained a beautiful soul.
Cheers Frank,
Matthew and Rene

It has been a challenge to process the gravity of this news. I can’t begin to imagine what the Piazza family is going through. Thoughts and prayers to the entire family.
Frank was a true gem of a human being who touched the lives of all those around him with his awkward charm while always going out of his way to make other feel included.
He showed kindness and respect to those around him simply because he thought it was the right way to treat people.
Despite this tragic loss, I hope that his family can take comfort in the knowledge that they can be proud of the man that he was, and will always be celebrated by those of us who had the chance to spend time with him.
Rest In Peace Frankie.
I met ‘Little Frankie’ when I was a young man through my good friend Mike Pires. Frank’s smile lit up my heart and his soft spoken nature always reminded me of the good in this world. Although I hadn’t seen Frank for many years, I had heard through Mike just how well he was doing with his sous chef work. I was proud and took comfort knowing he was following his passion. I send my deepest condolences to the Piazza Family for your loss and pray for your strength through this very difficult time.
My elementary school brother. An amazing person with a huge heart. You will be missed by many. Deepest Condolences to the Piazza Family.
Frank was one of the kindest and most generous people that I have ever met. Once you got to know Frankie you were helpless not to love him.
Just a few weeks ago Frank was telling me about how he wanted to smoke some ducks with his Dad to play around with their new smoker. I am so sad that he didn’t get the chance to do this.
It was a privilege to know Frank and experience his friendship, humour and quiet strength.
The Fabbrica Family will never be the same.
