Frank P. Sepulveres, 78, of Holmdel, NJ passed away peacefully Monday, July 29th.
Born in Brooklyn, NY, Frank lived in Hampton, NJ before settling in Holmdel in 1991 where he and his wife Kathleen raised their family. He proudly served his country with honorable distinction in the U.S. Marine Corps. Frank began his career at AT&T at the age of 17. And it was there that he would later meet his wife, Kathleen. After 35 years with AT&T, he retired but continued working as a Project Manager for various telecom companies until his full retirement in 2021.
Frank was a do-it-yourself aficionado; he successfully built his deck, finished his basement, and remodeled his kitchen and bathrooms. There was rarely a home improvement or home maintenance task that he couldn’t accomplish with a quick trip to the hardware store. Frank was also famous for always lending a hand, his expertise, or a specialized tool to his friends and neighbors for their own projects. Known to his family and friends as “Farmer Frank”, he loved to tend to his vegetable garden and was always happy to share his surplus of tomatoes, green beans, beets, basil, and other vegetables. Skiing was a family activity with many memorable trips to Gore Mountain, Steamboat Springs, Park City and Aspen. Frank was steadfast in his patriotism, vacationing every summer in Avalon, NJ to celebrate the Fourth of July.
Surviving Frank are his wife Kathleen, his children Nicole & Paul (Sara), his brother Donato (Fran), his niece and nephew Jon-Paul (Kathleen) & Danielle, his sister-in-law Constance, his brother-in-law John (Marianne) and his nephews Joseph and Nicholas. Frank is predeceased by his parents, Paul & Mary, and his brother-in-law Richard.
He was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Visitation will be held Sunday, August 4th 1-5 pm at the Holmdel Funeral Home, 26 South Holmdel Road, Holmdel. Mass of Christian burial Monday, August 5th 9:15 am at Church of St. Catharine, 108 Middletown Road, Holmdel. Entombment to follow in Holmdel Mausoleum.
