When Carroll Gardens resident Frank Verderame passed away unexpectedly in December, those who knew him were heart-broken.
The neighborhood had lost a real champion. A former New York State Assemblyman, real estate broker and accountant, as well as a former aide to Mayor Beame, Frank was multifaceted. He was a wonderful community activist as well as a true gentleman.
This coming Saturday, he is being honored at the Transit Garden. Read on.

That's Frank standing in front of Public Place site. He was so proud that he got that designated as a recreation space for the community. I remember his coming to a FROGG meeting and showing us the professional drawing he had made up of the baseball field that would go there as part of the park. By the way, that land is still designated for the community, and has to go through a legal process to be used in any other way. Let's honor Frank's memory and vision, a beautiful legacy. One day an open public space for the entire community to enjoy. Frank Verderame Community Park. You have to dream, right? And Frank had a beautiful dream. He was such a smart man, too. That, and his beautiful smile and charm, is what I remember, and miss.
