Obituary: Palmieri, Frank James, Jr.

Age 61

PALMIERI, Frank James, Jr. (Age 61) Of Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho and Jamestown, NY, unexpectedly passed away on December 12, 2014.

Frank was born on June 25, 1953 in Jamestown, NY to Frank and Mary Palmieri.

He worked for most of his life as a successful car salesman and Insurance agent.

He briefly served our country in the US Army before being honorably discharged in 1980.

In his spare time, he enjoyed working out at the gym and riding his Harley, in addition to practicing and studying various forms of the Martial Arts.

Spending time with his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, however, is what he liked to do most, and they absolutely loved to spend time with Papa Frank.

Frank is survived by three children: Frank Palmieri of Charlotte, NC, Christina Palmieri of Spokane, Washington, and David Palmieri, also of Spokane.

He also had six grandchildren, whom he spoke about at every opportunity; Angelena (ten), Allison (ten), Christian (eight), Callen (four), Devin (one) and Dominic (one).

He also leaves behind one sister, Julie Raul from Los Gatos, California.

He is preceded in death by his son, Michael Christian Palmieri (May 17, 2000), and his mother, Mary, and his father, Frank.

He will be remembered for his HUGE heart, his incredible life stories, a contagious laugh and his compassion for people.

If you happen to look up to the heavens and see a samurai riding a Harley…say hello, that’s our Dad.
