Frank Paul Santomauro, 71, of Freehold, died on Saturday, November 30.

Frank was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY to the late Pauline and Emiddio Santomauro. He graduated from Bishop Ford Catholic High School, and went on to receive a bachelor's degree in physics from Brooklyn College. Frank moved to California at an early age where he resided for over 20 years before moving back to be close to his family. He was a natural at sales and worked for Boyt Luggage and later Avenues, Inc.

Frank was social, charming, and funny. He was an avid Yankees fan, and a fan of baseball in general. He enjoyed going to the beach, including Pier Village, Coney Island, Cancun, Cabo, the Caribbean Islands, and California. Frank's newly found passion was singing, and used his skill to bring joy to several people in bars and assisted living facilities.

He is predeceased by his parents.

Surviving is his sister, Elaine Shor, and his niece and nephew, Jonathan and Talia Shor and their families.

All services for Frank will be privately held at the request of his family.
