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. Frank was raised in Wakefield, Mass., and graduated from Wakefield High School, Class of 1974. He studied at Wentworth Institute of Technology, graduating with an associate’s degree in Construction Engineering.

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. In addition to his wife Donna, Frank is survived by his daughters Melissa Kay and husband Ian; Elise Calisi and husband Louis; Gina Fregosi; and step-daughters Nicole Cooper and husband Robert; Christina Vautour and husband Brian; Jennifer Sodano and Timothy Comeau; his nine grandchildren Isabella and Gabriel Calisi, Molly Kay, Dominic Martin, Giovanni and Santino Cooper, Jack Vautour, Olivia Comeau and Reece Shaw. Frank is also survived by his brother Ralph Fregosi and wife Charlene; sisters Christine Beagan and husband Hugh; and Stephanie Dolloff and husband Stephen; his mother-in -law Gloria Boire, many nieces, nephews and cousins, and his best friend, his dog, Tootsie. Frank was predeceased by his brother John Fregosi, his sister-in law Diane Robins, Delia Salois (Memere) and good friend Albert Nash.
