Frank James Rudo, age 72, of New Washington, Ohio passed away on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at The Grove at Oak Leaf Village in Columbus, Ohio. He was born on April 11, 1950 in Cleveland to the late George and Grace (Portaro) Rudo.

A 1968 Cathedral Latin High School graduate, Frank went on to attend Cuyahoga Community College and Cleveland State University.

I've actually have known Frank since the 80's. We met at Round table pizza. He was always wonderful with my kids and anyone he came across. We were sorry to see him move but we all knew he missed Ohio. He was a awesome chef and Grill master, and a true fan of the Cleaveland Browns. Frank was a spectacular human. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to all who loved Frank. I know there is a void in all of our lives.

Our family would like to extend our deepest sympathy on the passing of Frank. He was a neighbor to our mother and was willing to get her mail, etc. He was always very considerate, kind, and sociable when we saw him. He will be missed.
