Frank was born in Brooklyn, NY and moved to Clifton in 1965 before moving to Cedar Grove where he resided for the past 30 years. Mr. Ponte rose from a poor childhood to become an entrepreneur and owner of a large paper recycling company. He will mainly be remembered for being a loving husband, wonderful Father, doting Grandfather, endearing Great Grandfather and caring uncle. He frequently and quietly helped countless people with their needs in life and we are certain that he will always be remembered as someone who could be counted on. He was a generous and loving family man who will be greatly missed.
