Frank Natale

Frank Natale, 69, of Berkley, MA, joined his parents in Heaven on Saturday Sept 1 at Philip Hulitar Hospice Center after a courageous battle. Son of the late Vincenzo and Anna (Maccarone) Natale, he is the proud father of Julie Cummings (Matthew) of Dighton, Karen Sigman (Christopher) of Fall River and Daniel Natale (Sandra) of East Providence. The caring grandfather of Jake and Nathan Cummings, Ian Sigman and Madison Natale; the former husband of Susan Crosson Natale and the loving brother of Josephine "Jo" Donovan and Ann Donovan (Red) of Fall River and the companion of Sharon. Frank served in the Marine Corps for several years and worked for the Stop & Shop companies for 46 years before retiring in 2005. He enjoyed spending time at his beach house in Island Park that he built with his father when he was a teenager, vacationing with his children and grandchildren, sharing many special times with his sisters, going to dinner on Federal Hill with the guys and being around his beagles which brought him great enjoyment and laughter. Frank was a wonderful hard working man who was a source of strength to those around him and influenced many people throughout his life. He will be desperately missed by his family and those who were lucky to have known him.
