We loved having Frank as an employee and friend at Maynard & Lesieur. What kindness he bestowed on everyone around him. It was a pleasure to know him. His smile would light up a room. He always had a hug for me and great stories to tell. My dad had such a liking and such respect for him. He is greatly missed !!

Dear Stan, Peter and I would like offer our sincerest condolences at your brother’s passing. I met Frank while working at Indian Head Millwork. A nicer, more pleasant and cheerful person (with a truly amazing memory) would be difficult to find. He definitely is one of my fondest memories of IHMC. God bless him! Deepest sympathy to you, Marilyn, Vito, Aldona, and the entire Stoncius family. With prayers, Dottie + Peter Laliberte

Dear Marilyn and family, I am deeply saddened to hear of Frank’s passing. The world has lost one of it’s kindest and gentle souls. I first met Frank over 50 years ago at Indian Head Millwork and it was evident from the first conversations that he was a treasure. He was a devoted husband, father, and friend and always went above and beyond in his job. He had a way of calming any situation just by being himself - fair, thorough, and with a smile! No one could help but admire Frank. Frank was teaching kindness and great listening skills long before there were books written on the subjects. It all came natural to Frank and how lucky we were to have him as a friend. He left a mark on my heart forever. I have no doubt his love, peace, and comfort will always be there - and especially for you and your family, Marilyn. Frank lives on in spirit. God bless you.

My Dearest Marilyn and Family, Please accept my sincere condolences with the passing of Frank. My heart is truly heavy as Heaven receives an Angel. Frank and I go back 25+ years. He followed me from branch to branch and it was always a pleasure to help Frank especially when he brought Kathryn in and I had her blue lollipops! I will always cherish his love for his family especially for his wife. Frank always smiled when he shared stories about his journey through life from Lithuania, serving our country, where he worked, golf and especially his family. As your family moves forward please know that Frank is watching over you. An amazing Man with an amazing family. I pray you will all find peace and comfort. Sending prayers, hugs and especially love to Anne, Joan, Ruth, Frank and especially Marilyn. Godspeed my dear friend Frank.

Dear Marilyn and Family. What a blessing was to meet Frank , I still remember the first day I  met him, always pleasant, cordial, with an impeccable appearance. He always shared his passion for golf, being a veteran,  how much enjoyed going for pizza, but one of the things I will never forget is the pure love  for his wife. He reminded me the importance of small gestures, like making coffee for his wife every morning and wanting to be close to her all the time ! He always made me smile and reminded  me that for people like him is that I love to practice medicine. I feel so blessed that in only a few years and encounters with Frank he impacted  the way I  look at my profesion and my relationships so much. As long as there is love and memory,  there is not true loss, and Frank definitely gave me memories that made me feel with a purpose in my profession.

Frank was my neighbor, but always felt more like a family member when I was child growing up in Nashua. He was a kind soul, a true gentleman, and an incredible role model. We shared a Lithuanian heritage and a strong love of golf. The many trips to Buckmeadow were greatly appreciated. Frank used to let Rose (my mother) cut his hair in her kitchen proving he was not only frugal but brave. Frank always put others before himself and possessed a strong faith. I will miss him. I will continue to include him in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless the entire Stoncius clan during this difficult time. I love you all! Christian
