Frank A. Anfuso

Frank A. Anfuso, 90, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 16, 2022, after a life well lived.  He was born in Long Branch to the late Antonio Anfuso and Angelina (DeSantis) Anfuso. Frank was married to his beloved wife Anne in 1955, and they raised their three children in Oceanport before retiring to Hobe Sound, Florida. They were together for 40 years until Anne’s passing in 1994.

Frank graduated high school in 1949 before serving in the Army during the Korean War. He began his professional career as a teller at First Merchants National Bank and worked his way up to Executive VP of Commercial Mortgages. He met Anne Doyle of Point Pleasant while working in the bank’s Asbury branch. Frank earned B.S. and M.B.A. degrees from Monmouth University, and he is also an alumnus of Stonier Graduate School of Banking.

Frank will be remembered as a kind and gracious man. He was often referred to as “the last of the true gentlemen” and he will be missed by many. Frank enjoyed playing golf, and he was an avid horse racing fan and owner. He was an active member of the Kiwanis, the Knights of Columbus, the Rotary, Spring Lake American Legion Post 432, and he served as President of the Monmouth University Alumni Association. Frank was also actively involved in many other charities in both Monmouth County and Hobe Sound, often serving as a board member.

He is survived by his longtime companion Joyce Reed; daughter Theresa and partner Matt; sons Anthony and his wife Lisa, Timothy and his wife Joanne, and his eight grandchildren: Devan, Valerie and her husband J.D., Alexandra, Taylor, Matthew, Jenna, Ross and Christopher.
