Shawn grandson to Frank Cioffi writes ...
Thank you for your time and effort to help make sure these units are remembered for their valuable contributions. Also, thank you in advance for adding my grandfather to your blog.
Frank was very proud of his service and was deeply committed to his local American Legion the rest of his life. My grandfather attended ceremonial events and just about every commemorative wreath hanging event at veterans park in town year after year. In 1960-61 Frank Cioffi became the Commander of the American Legion.
He loved the small town of Whitehall, New York that he lived, worked and served the community in for most of his life.
Frank was also very proud of his Italian heritage and was the first generation born in the U.S. from his parents that came here through Ellis Island in 1912.
He was a very friendly, kind person and could strike up a conversation with anybody.
His outgoing personality served him well throughout his life and also made him a successful bar and tavern owner the (Blue Goose) after his service.
I have enclosed a photo of him standing in front of the Blue Goose. (below)
