Born in Amsterdam on Feb. 11, 1922, the son of the late Antonio and Carolina Cheritano Greco, he lived in Amsterdam his entire life. Frank attended Guy Park Avenue School and graduated from Wilbur Lunch High School. He proudly served in the US Army Company 55th Armored Infantry Reg. for two years, and was given an honorable discharge. He was then employed by the Navy Depot as a heavy equipment operator. From there he owned the Market Hill Service Station for many years until he became co-owner of the GO Oil Co., retiring in 1987. Frank worked hard all his life. In later years he enjoyed fishing, hunting, casinos and playing cards. He had the opportunity to travel cross country and took great pride in his vegetable garden. Most of all he loved spending time with his family, especially his two granddaughters who he cherished dearly. He was a parishioner of the former St. Michael the Archangel RC Church, and was a member of the Catholic War Veterans and the Columbian Club.
