MILLSBORO - Frank William DiTolvo, 63, of Millsboro, passed away surrounded by his family, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Frank was born Feb. 19, 1948, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He grew up in New Jersey, and served in the Army for 3 years including a year in Vietnam. Frank worked as meat department manager for ShopRite for many years before moving to Millsboro in 1985. He was employed by Melvin Joseph Construction Co. for 13 years prior to his illness. He was a member of Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union, VFW Post 7422, American Legion Post 28, and Indian River Senior Center. In addition to his family, his loves included being a prankster, repairing and galavanting in classic cars, animals, music, movies, fishing, and hunting. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Emma M. (Keller) DiTolvo; and an infant son, Kevin M. DiTolvo. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Diane J. DiTolvo of Millsboro; two daughters, Laura A. Kucharik and her husband Thomas of Georgetown, and Christine R. DiTolvo of Brooklyn, N.Y.; a sister, Carol A. Migliore of Somerset, N.J.; a brother, Richard A. DiTolvo and his wife Debra of Millsboro; three grandchildren, William, Anna and Elena Kucharik of Georgetown; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. In accordance with his wishes, a casual-dress (e.g., blue jeans) memorial service will be noon, Friday, March 9, at the Watson Funeral Home, 211 S. Washington St., Millsboro, where friends may call after 11 a.m. A ceremony with military honors will take place following the service at Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Millsboro.
