WAKEFIELD — Frank M. Fregosi of Hampton, NH, beloved husband of Donna (Boire) Fregosi, passed away peacefully on March 16, 2021 at home, surrounded by his loving family after a brief illness.
Frank was born on May 19, 1956 in Everett. He was the son of the late Ralph F. Fregosi and Clementina (Cosentino) Fregosi.

He worked for New England Telephone Company from 1976 to 1986. In 1986, Frank decided to venture out on his own, and Teleresource, now known as EDS, LLC was created. For the past 35 years, Frank was not only the president and “Boss” but most importantly a friend to all of his many employees.
Frank and Donna married in 2002 and lived in Leominster, Mass. and Hampton, New Hampshire.
It was in Hampton that Frank most loved to spend his time, relaxing on the beach, fishing on his boat and just spending time with his large family. Frank and Donna loved to travel. Their recent trip to Italy was truly a trip of a lifetime.
Frank was a much loved husband, father, and brother as well as a loving “Bampy” to his nine grandchildren. Frank will be remembered for his generosity and kindness, his ever-present infectious smile, sense of humor, and his love of life.
