Frank Joseph Martino, beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully in his sleep at Riverview Medical Center on December 1st, 2024 at 72 years old.
Born to Benjamin and Gloria Martines on October 3rd, 1952, Frank grew up in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn surrounded by his large Italian family. After graduating from Sheepshead Bay High School in 1970, he pursued his dream of building his own Title Insurance company, a legacy that continues on to this day.
Frank married Beth Martino on September 18th, 1993 at the Columbus Citizens Foundation in Manhattan, New York. They settled in Rumson, New Jersey, where they built a beautiful home and life on Sycamore Lane, a place Frank held close to his heart. Together, they raised two children, Caroline and Michael, who were his greatest pride and joy.
Frank was a fearless entrepreneur, founding Ridge Abstract Corp. at just 28 years old after learning the Title Insurance industry from his Uncle Sonny. He successfully ran the business for over four decades, and Ridge continues to thrive to this day.
He was a master storyteller with an infectious sense of humor and a deep love for bringing people together. He had a lifelong passion for travel that he went on to share with his family, creating unforgettable memories on the special trips they enjoyed together. More than anything, Frank was deeply devoted to the people he loved.
Frank was larger than life and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His unwavering perseverance, generous spirit, and boundless love for his family leaves a legacy that will continue to inspire and bring comfort to those he leaves behind.
Frank is survived by his loving wife, Beth; his cherished children, Caroline and Michael; and his three younger brothers.
A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, December 8th from 12:00-3:00 PM at Thompson Memorial Home at 310 Broad St, Red Bank, NJ 07701.
