Frank R. Befaro, age 40, passed away at home with his family by his side on October 19, 2017. Frank was born with disabilities that did not allow him to be able to speak or see. Although talking was impossible for Frank, he has a special way of communication with his family who loved him very much. He attended programs at the South Shore Collaborative until he wasn’t able at the age of 19. At that time he began staying at home with his mother who has provided him with the best care for his entire life. Although Frank’s family is sad to see him pass on, they are comforted that Frank is in heaven now, finally at peace.
Frank is survived by his beloved mother Grace Augusto and his step-father Joe of Weymouth, his loving sister Marianne DaSilva and her husband Junior of Raynham, and his brother Eduardo Augusto of Weymouth, and his cherished “Nonna” Franca Riparo of FL. Frank is also survived by his father Mario Befaro, his niece Marina DaSilva and his Nephew Jovanni DaSilva, his aunts Maddalena Rinaldo and Maria Rose Lentini, and his uncle Fabio Riparo.
