Frank Alfano, 84, of Naples, FL, went home to his creator on January 19, 2022. He was born on August 6, 1937 in San Fili, (Calabria) Italy, before immigrating to Port Chester, NY in 1955 with his parents, the late David and Luisa Alfano, and his siblings.

Mr. Alfano worked as a Barber and started his family while living in New York, before relocating to Old Greenwich, CT where he continued as a Barber at Off Center Barber Shop, a Sexton at the Presbyterian Church (now Living Hope,) and a Fireman at the Sound Beach Volunteer Fire Department. In 1982, he continued his family legacy by opening Alfano's Barber Shop, (now Generations Barber Parlor) which he passed down to his son Eric. He continued to work there while gradually retiring full time to Naples, FL.

Frank is survived by his beloved children, Luisa Guasco (Steve) of Naples, FL, David Alfano (Colleen) of Riverside, CT, Eric Alfano (Angela) of Cos Cob, CT, and Sandra Alfano (George Kapakos) of Scottsdale, AZ, as well as his former wife, Fulvia Amico Alfano of Naples, FL, his beautiful grandchildren, Steven, Victoria, Frank, Gianna, Grace, Anthony, and Angie, his sisters Cristina Folino of Port Chester, NY, and Connie Patafio of West Palm Beach, FL, and was predeceased by his brother Peter Alfano of Rye Brook, NY.
