Frank, Franco to family and friends, was born in Rieti, Italy, on January 1, 1918, the son of Ercole and Lavinia (Dionisi) DeRossi. He attended the University of Rome, graduating with a teacher’s degree. He was drafted into the Italian Army during WWII, sent to Africa and eventually was captured as a prisoner of war by the U.S. 5th Army in Tunisia. He was brought to the United States as a P.O.W. in April 1942.
After the collapse of the Mussolini Regime, Italian P.O.W.’s in the United States camps were offered the opportunity to join the newly formed Italian Service Units. Those Units were employed by the U.S. Army providing services to Army or Navy bases and there, participated in the war against the Nazis. Frank met his future wife, Alice Schott, who also was working at the same base in Norfolk, VA, in the service of the U.S. Army. They fell in love and promised to each other for life. They kept their faith, and soon after the war ended Alice joined Frank in Italy where they were married on June 24, 1946. They lived in Italy for one year and then decided to move to the United States when it seemed very possible that Italy could become a Communist State. They settled in Zion, Illinois, Alice’s hometown. Frank started working for the Dexter Corporation, doing research and development work in their laboratory. He worked for the same company for almost 40 years and retired in 1987, having reached the position of Staff Scientist.
Frank and Alice moved to the Kansas City area in 1990 in order to live close to their son, John and his family. When John transferred to Atchison for reason of employment, Frank and Alice also moved to Atchison. Alice died after a brief illness in February 2004. Frank enjoyed gardening, golfing, and listening to classical music, especially Opera. Frank was also an avid Bridge player and continued playing in spite of poor eyesight, which made it difficult to see the cards.
Frank was a member of St. Benedict’s Catholic Church, Atchison.
Survivors include two sons, John (Sherry) De Rossi of Atchsion, Michael (Linda) De Rossi of Lindenhurst, IL; three daughters, Sr. Julian De Rossi of Annapolis, CA, Rosanne (John) Millhouse of Grand Rapids, MI, and Anita (Ronald) Delph of Ann Harbor, MI; one sister, Lina Specchia of Italy; eleven grandchildren; eighteen great-grandchildren.
