Frank Reno Volpicelli, 75, died suddenly on July 28, 2025, in his home in Westerly, RI. A former resident of Darien, CT, he had  worked at Chase from 1976 to 2008.
 
Among the areas in which he served were: Infoserv/Wholesale Products; Real Estate Finance; International Trade; Corporate Technology; North American Corporate Banking; and Commodity Finance.
 
Born in the Bronx, NY, he was a decorated baseball player in his youth and was a die-hard Yankees and Giants fan. He was famous for hosting the Feast of the Seven Fish in his home on Christmas Eve for over 30 years.
 
Retiring at the age of 59, he spent his subsequent years in his cherished retreat in Westerly, traveling the world with his wife, Angela, doting on his grandchildren, and golfing or fishing with his friends and family.
 
Survivors include Angela Volpicelli (his wife of 52 years), his son and daughter-in-law, and their two sons.  
 
The family asks that donations in memory of Frank R Volpicelli be made to the NYP Cardiology Fund at NewYork-Presbyterian.

From Marion Morgenthal: I worked with Frank in Real Estate Finance in the early 1990s. At a time when the real estate market was under siege, Frank's optimism, ready smile and practical approach to the operations/technical end of the business were notable and much appreciated. Frank always had time to ask about the family, share an anecdote and make folks feel appreciated. He led the team with a strong sense of mission and a gentle prod. It was a pleasure to work with him, and an even greater pleasure to consider him a friend.
