- Frank Lawrence Riggio, 91, of Ivoryton, Conn., passed away on November 10. He was born in Ivoryton on June 25, 1926, the son of the late Samuel and Nellie (Banning) Riggio. He was the beloved husband of the late Audley Reynolds Riggio, his high school sweetheart, for 45 years. A 1944 graduate of Pratt High School in Essex, Conn., Frank began his working career at Cramer Controls in Centerbrook, Conn., as a machine operator. He moved on to management roles in manufacturing and engineering at Cleveland Cap Screw, Raymond Engineering, and Hayden Switch and Instrument. He was one of the founders of Modulus Corp., a company that produced cold forged fasteners for the automotive industry. In 1980 he started his own manufacturing business, Camtech, Inc., with his sons. It utilized custom machines that he had designed and built. He retired in 1994. Frank was a good man, a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was a spirited individual who always saw the positive opportunities that life had to offer and he wasn't afraid to share his opinion on nearly everything. He leaves behind his son Glenn Riggio and wife Christine Riggio of Killingworth, Conn.; son Mark Riggio and wife Jacqueline Stack of Chester, Conn., and son Tod Riggio and wife Holly Johnson of Madison, Conn. He also leaves three grandchildren, Geoffrey Riggio, Daniel Riggio and William Riggio, and three step-grandchildren, Jennifer Williams, Andrew Tower and Jacob Begansky. In addition, he leaves his brother-in-law Robert Reynolds of Live Oak, Fla., and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister Judith Hilley and brother Ernest "Bud" Riggio. A private graveside service will be held at the family's convenience.
