Francis (Frank) C. Oakley, formerly of Park Ridge and Montvale, NJ, peacefully passed away on October 4, 2025, at the age of 84. Devoted father of Laurie A. Oakley of Montvale, NJ and Kathleen A. Oakley of Park Ridge, NJ. Cherished grandfather of Evan J. Giaccio. Also survived by his nephew Michael D. Oakley, niece Lisa A. Lucas, great-nephews Griffin, Conlan, Trace and Declan and great-great-nephew Harry.
Predeceased by his beloved wife, Estelle, with whom he shared 57 years of marriage, near what would have been their 61st anniversary. Also predeceased by his parents Robert J. and Mollie R. Oakley, and his brother Robert D. Oakley.
A proud Eagle Scout, Frank continued a life of service and dedication as he went on to serve in the United States Navy from 1958 to 1962, attaining the rank of Seaman. He was stationed aboard the USS Northampton (CC-1), a command ship based out of Norfolk, Virginia, and was honorably discharged after four years of dedicated service.
Frank later fulfilled a lifelong dream by establishing his own business, Advanced Hydronics Sales, Inc., in 1993—an industry he loved, where he built decades-long friendships and earned respect as a leader and mentor, relationships that continue to endure to this day.
