I just learned of Frank's passing, and my heart goes out to the entire Caira family. I knew Frank for over 25 years, and he was a great man - kind, fun, honest, and the master of his craft. I'm so grateful that I was able to see him last summer when visiting Chicago. Thanks for all your help over the years. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that, and I'm glad that you are in a better place. You will be so GREATLY missed, my friend!

My heart and sympathy for the Caira family. It was a pleasure and honor to know Frank as well as all of you. He touched many lives and helped so many. I loved seeing Frank unfortunately for my car repairs. He always helped me as well as all of you. I truly think my car enjoys being at the shop. I felt as if I became part of your family. Because that's how wonderful you all are. I will truly miss seeing and talking to him. I enjoyed making him laugh. He will always guard and watch over you all. There is a #1 mechanic in heaven. He will always remain in my heart. If any of you need anything I'm there just down the block

Janine,
Jim, who never looks at the obituaries, did yesterday and brought the announcement to my attention. I am so very sorry for your enormous loss. I remember when you and Frank were first dating and how very happy he made you. He quickly became the true love of your life. My heart breaks for you now recalling that. Although we haven't seen each other since our days working in the pharmacy 30 years ago, I want you to know that I will keep you and your boys in my prayers. God bless you with comfort and peace during this most difficult time in your life.

To the Caira Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Although I only got to interact with Frank on a business level, it was clear that he was an excellent technician. What was even more evident was that his kindness, dedication, and honesty, were truly an extension of who Frank was as a person. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Janine, Frank, & Pete,
I first met Frank when he was my student at Holy Cross - a very long time ago. In all the time I've known him he was truly a generous, honest, caring person. The legacy he leaves for all of us is an example of how we all should strive to live our lives. We will all miss him greatly. I send you my condolences and hope that you find comfort in the knowledge of what a great guy he was.
