Frank Gallardo

He and Emily were entirely devoted to each other and their family. Recently, Frank became Emily’s loving caregiver. Emily’s sudden death devastated Frank and he passed four weeks to the date of her passing.

Frank is survived by daughters Angelica Grasso-Hotti, Cecilia Mitchell, Francesca Muhlfelder, son Kevin Gallardo, grandchildren Edward Mitchell and Gabriel Gallardo, great-grandchild Emily Fay Mitchell, brother Leo and sisters Sylvia and Abigail.

Frank served as usher for the Offertory at the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. History was Frank’s passion. Ask a question and he could recite details worthy of a history professor. There was always a pile of books and periodicals at his chair-side. He was blessed with a “green thumb,” all plants miraculously survived in his care. He was a diehard emotional San Francisco Giants and 49ers fan. His potato salad was the family’s treat; ice cream and nuts were his treats.

“The family suffers an irreconcilable loss.”
