Francis A. Ressa

July 30, 1942 - February 27, 2022

Francis A. "Frank" Ressa, 79, of Southington, Conn. and formerly of Schenectady, passed away peacefully at Hartford Hospital on Sunday, February 27, 2022, after a long struggle with heart disease. He had been the loving husband of Yvonne (Colino) Ressa for nearly 54 years. Frank was born in Schenectady to the late Vincenzo and Mary (Pasquarella) Ressa. He proudly served in the U.S. Air Force from 1964 - 1967 during the Vietnam War, finishing his tour at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. Frank worked as database administrator and retired from NASDAQ. He loved to travel and watch all sports, especially the N.Y. Giants and N.Y. Yankees and could be described as a "walking sports Almanac." In addition to his wife, Yvonne, Frank is survived by two children: a daughter, Dina Ressa of Southington, Conn. and son, Christopher Ressa and his wife, Jodi of Ladson, S.C.; and four grandchildren, Morgan Gott and Megan Ressa, both of South Carolina and Joseph and Ryon Lee, both of Southington, Conn. He is also survived by a large loving extended family including his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Anthony and Pam Colino, and two nieces, Rebecca Colino and Sara Grace, all of New York, and many cousins. A celebration of Frank's life will be held in New York later this summer.
