Hampstead: Frank L. Valenti, 79 of Hampstead, NH passed away unexpectedly on June 28, 2024, at Parkland Medical Center in Derry, NH.

Born in East Boston, Massachusetts, son of the late Alfred and Mary (Guerra) Valenti, he was raised and educated in Medford, Massachusetts. He was a 1963 graduate of Medford High School.

Frank was a Field Engineer, employed by several regional computer companies for many years. He also operated concession stands at the Topsfield Fair and Marshfield Fair and worked at Boston Garden Pizza, which was operated by his grandfather.

A devoted husband, father, and grandfather who was forever known for his famous "pop ins" to see family and friends. He had a passion for fixing things that were broken. Frank was always the life of the party at every family gathering. He loved talking to people including strangers; telling stories and always making people smile.

He loved to be with his family. One of his favorite things to do was going to the beach to have picnic lunches with his beloved wife. He cherished the time he was able to spend with his grandsons; often taking them fishing, making them pizza, or serving them slush. He looked forward to his weekly lunches with his longtime friends.

He was a member and treasurer of the New England Showmen's Association and a former member of the Hampstead Civic Club.

Frank will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his loving wife of fifty-three years, Linda M. (Perillo) Valenti, a daughter Cara M. Vetter and her husband Jason of Sandown, three sons, Christian M. Valenti of Hampstead, Timothy R. Valenti and his wife Nikki of Derry, NH and Matthew F. Valenti and his wife Jacki of Merrimack, NH; five grandsons, Sam and Theo Valenti of Wakefield, MA, Parker and Grayson Vetter of Sandown, NH, and Wesley Valenti of Derry, NH. Frank also leaves behind a brother Alfred Valenti, Jr. of South Portland, ME, and three sisters, Connie, Carol, and Donna Valenti of Medford, MA, and several nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends.
