Frank was simply adored by his family, many friends, colleagues and acquaintances that truly blessed his life. Always quick with a smile and a perfectly delivered joke, his presence brightened every golf course, courtroom, church and poker table he graced. Even as he stared multiple health issues in the face, he did so with kindness and humor, remaining focused on what matters – love and family. He never met a pasta he didn't like, a courtroom he couldn’t command or a tee box he couldn’t conquer. This giant of a man lived his life so thoughtfully, leaving nothing but happiness in his wake. Founding partner of Crivello Carlson, S.C. in Milwaukee, his close to 40 years of law practice earned him accolades and immense respect. He was more than an attorney – he was a mentor, a friend, a partner and a trusted confidant.   

Special thanks to his healthcare providers who made his life living with Parkinson’s as comfortable as possible: Gus Moreno and Rosa Huseman of Naples, Fla.; Debbie Tatum and Connie Pawslowski of Grafton, Wis.; and Luther Manor Adult Day Services, Cedarburg, Wis.
