Frank S. Apicella

Hampton – Frank S. Apicella, 66, of Hampton, NH, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 5, 2022, at his home surrounded by family. His courageous 2.5-year battle with esophageal cancer was fought with extraordinary determination and strength. He was born in Milford, MA on March 16, 1956, a son of the late Mathew and Nancy (Parisi) Apicella. Frank is predeceased by his younger brother Daniel. Raised in Milford, MA, he graduated from Saint Mary’s Central Catholic High School with the Class of 1974 and later Providence College in 1978. Frank and his business partner, Michael Sforza, co-managed a successful business – FENS Associates – for over 30 years, providing office furnishings to Civilian Agencies and Military offices around the world. FENS’ employees are grateful for his years of friendship and support. Frank enjoyed cooking, hiking, gardening, and spending time at his family’s cottage in Denmark, Maine. He was a lifelong Patriots fan and looked forward to attending home games with invited friends and family, preceded, of course, by a tailgate replete with good food and drink. Frank loved music and shared many of his favorite memories at the Jazz Festival in Newport, RI each summer with his friends Ron and Joe. When Sinatra wasn’t playing on the stereo, Frank was either listening to Steely Dan or tapping to Spyro Gyra. He had also been known to indulge in, and appreciate, a good glass of wine and a fine cigar. Surviving family members include his children, James Apicella and his wife Janell, Theresa Apicella, Tia Apicella and their mother, Constance (Rogers) Apicella; grandchildren, Nathan, and Leah; lifelong friend Joseph Foglio, and his extended family at FENS Associates. Frank’s remarkable ability to connect with people resulted in long and deep relationships marked by his warmth, generosity and humor. He will be affectionately remembered and deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. Visiting hours will be held from 1-3 PM on Sunday November 13, 2022, at the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home-Crematory, 811 Lafayette Road, Hampton. A Catholic mass will be celebrated at 11 AM on Monday, November 14, 2022, at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church, 289 Lafayette Road, Hampton. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited.
