Etna, NH – Frank Anthony Pizzuti passed away peacefully on April 5, 2026, with his wife, Betty, and children, Katherine and Tony, by his side.
He was born on November 20, 1941, in Hanover, New Hampshire. Frank was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. He was known for his warmth, sense of humor, and outgoing personality, and he had a special way of connecting with people. Frank’s kindness and generosity left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
After graduating from Hanover High School, Frank served four years in the Air Force as a radar technician. He later attended the University of New Hampshire and then transferred to Northeastern University, where he studied electrical engineering.
He began his career in the Boston area, working in circuit design and testing. Frank married Betty Minichiello on August 19, 1967. A few years later, they returned to Hanover to run Michael’s Audio and Video, the family business his parents started in 1942. Frank led the business until he retired in 2024.
Frank had a deep appreciation for the outdoors. He could often be found sitting on one of the many benches around his property, quietly reflecting, immersed in nature. For thirty years, Frank played in the Upper Valley Softball League. While he enjoyed many outdoor activities, his greatest passion was fishing, and Frank did it all, fly, freshwater, and saltwater. Cape Cod held a special place in his heart.
He also loved working on his cars, including his Chevy Corvair, a 1960s Plymouth Barracuda, and, finally, a 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda, which was his pride and joy.
Frank is survived by his loving wife, Betty; his daughter, Katherine Adams, and her husband, Jeff Adams, and son, Alek Pizzuti, of Center Harbor, NH; his son, Tony, and his wife, Samantha, along with their daughters, Sofia and Natalie, of Amherst, NH. He is also survived by his nephews, Michael and Robert Pizzuti, and his niece, Susan Pizzuti.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, April 17, from 4 to 6 pm at the Rand-Wilson Funeral Home in Hanover, NH. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Jack Byrne Center for Palliative & Hospice Care or Dartmouth Health Home Care.
