Yo Frankies here!

Frank William Anfuso or also known as, “Scatsy” “The Fuse” or “Frankie”, 77, of Bethlehem, passed away on March 8, 2023, surrounded by his family. He was the loving husband of 19 years to Karalee “Hink” (Hinkle) Anfuso.

Frankie had numerous enjoyments--- he had a special love for fishing, especially on the Salmon River with his son-in-law. His enjoyments included racing, one of his favorite spots to race was at Williams Grove Speedway and he also enjoyed watching racing at Bridgeport Speedway. Franks enjoyments also included taking weekly casino trips, partying with his friends, and golfinghe got his first hole- in-one a few years ago at Willow Brook. Frank was a great dancer and loved the outdoors.

When it came to filters, Frank didnt have any especially when it came to sharing his wild stories with his daughters and grandchildren. He lived life to the fullest and nothing slowed him down.

He will also be lovingly remembered by his brother from another mother, Charlie Massey; the sons he never had, Sean and Sam Campbell; the racing son he never had, Dan the Man Massey; and his godson, Timothy William Hogue.

Franks family would like to give a special thank you to the Collins Family and the OBT---his home away from the shop, where he always had a great steak meal.

He always said, “checking out is easy, staying alive is whats hard", and “when my time is up, wave the checkered flag, the race is over.”
