Hampstead, NH- Frank J. “Pudge” Milone, 58, passed away peacefully Tuesday, January 12,2010 at the Merrimack Valley Hospice House in Haverhill, surrounded by his loving family. He was an inspiration to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Born in Lawrence, on May 11,1951, Frank was the son of John and Concetta (Pricone) Milone. Frank was a graduate of Lawrence High School. He worked as a Water Inspector for the City of Lawrence until his retirement and was the owner of Route 110 Auto Sales in Haverhill. He was involved in Auto Sales his entire adult life.
His true passion was his family and friends who will miss him tremendously but are comforted by the wisdom, love, and inspirational words he always shared. He will be remembered for his persevering spirit, ever-present smile, amazing sense of humor and contagious laughter. He had an incredible ability of taking an unfortunate situation and making it enjoyable. He never let negativity stand in his way.
Pudge was also very passionate about cars and motorcycles. Whenever he got the chance he would be found singing and riding his Harley Davidson.
Along with his parents, Frank will be deeply missed and forever remembered in the hearts of his wife and soul mate of 27 years, Patricia (Forrest) Milone, three daughters, Molly Milone, Deanna and her fiancé Matthew Malloy, Alanna and her fiancé Robert Bean, son Frank J.
