Born in Newark, Frank was a lifelong Caldwell resident.

He was the former manager of the Ringside Pub, and most recently worked for the Butler Board of Education.

Frank was predeceased by his parents Frank and Dolly (nee Grenci) Lisante; beloved husband of Patty Blum Lisante; loving father of Kathryn A. and her fiance Nathan Madison and Frank W.

Forever a family man, Frank had a huge heart. He always rooted for the underdog, including his favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys. Frank also enjoyed his "Steinfeld reruns" which he found "pretty good". Eternally proud of his children, Frank wants all of his loved ones to "Remember no man is a failure who has friends".
