Frank Carmine Paldino, 84, passed away on February 12, 2026, in Hyde Park, NY. Born on May 24, 1941, Viper, KY to Frank J. and Mabel Hall Paldino.

Frank began his career with Metro North Railroad in 1974.  After 31 years on the job, Frank retired in 2005 from Metro North Railroad, Stamford, CT, where he was a mechanical department manager.  Previously, Frank worked for General Motors on the assembly line at the General Motors Plant in Tarrytown, NY. He was a volunteer with the Westchester County Sheriff's Department during the 1970s and early 1980s.

Frank served honorably in the Army from 1964 to 1966, a period of his life that instilled in him a deep sense of duty and community. His commitment to service was evident through his lifetime memberships at the B.P.O.E. in New York, the American Legion Post, and the NRA.

Frank actively participated in his community and cherished his faith. He had a profound love for hunting and the Kentucky countryside where he was born. Frank grew up in Mt. Vernon, NY.  These were years filled with warm memories of extended family and friends.  In 1958-1959 Frank moved with his family to Mamaroneck, NY.  Frank joined his father raising and competitively racing pigeons.

Frank leaves behind his beloved wife, Penelope J. Paldino, and their children; daughter and son-in-law, Stefanie A. (Paul J.) Robinson; daughter, Laurie Paldino-Pauline; and son and daughter-in-law, F. Joseph "Joe" (Mary Carmen) Paldino. He was a proud grandfather to Amanda J. Robinson, Kayle Pauline-Williams, Alexander Pauline, Ashle Pauline, Lindze Pauline, Penelope A. Paldino, Jenny Daccarett, Valerie Reyes and Yadi Cox, and a cherished great granddaughter, Sage Williams.

In addition to his parents, Frank was predeceased by a brother, Arthur Paldino.
