Known widely in the Point St. Charles neighborhood, Frank was more than just a resident; he was a mentor, a friend, and a devoted father whose life was defined by service and care for others.
Throughout his years, Frank consistently put the needs of others before his own, offering support to students, neighbors, friends, and family members alike. Whether volunteering his time, providing guidance, or simply offering a listening ear, he became a beacon of hope and a symbol of community spirit for everyone who knew him.
Beyond his personal circle, Frank’s contributions were deeply felt across the broader community.

Friends and neighbors often spoke of his generosity, recalling countless instances where Frank quietly offered help without expectation of recognition. His approach to life embodied empathy, humility, and a strong belief in the power of community values he instilled in his children and shared freely with all who crossed his path.
In recognition of Frank’s enduring commitment to others, the Altimas family has initiated a fundraising campaign to honor his memory. The campaign supports St. Gabriel’s Christmas Baskets, a grassroots charity that held a special place in Frank’s heart.

The fundraising effort is not only a way to preserve Frank’s legacy but also an opportunity for the community to come together, reflecting the same spirit of generosity and care that Frank lived by each day.
The Altimas family encourages all those who knew Frank, as well as members of the broader community, to participate in the campaign. Donations can be made in his name, creating a tangible way to celebrate his life and the positive impact he had on those around him.
By supporting St. Gabriel’s Christmas Baskets, contributors ensure that Frank’s compassion continues to touch the lives of families and individuals in Point St. Charles and beyond. Each donation, regardless of size, serves as a living testament to his belief that even small acts of kindness can have profound effects.
Frank Altimas will be remembered not only for his generosity and commitment but also for the warmth, humility, and integrity that defined his character.
Through this ongoing effort to support the causes he loved, his spirit will continue to inspire future generations to live with compassion, to serve selflessly, and to prioritize the well-being of others. His legacy remains a reminder that one person’s dedication and care can ripple through an entire community, leaving a lasting and meaningful imprint.
This initiative is more than a tribute; it is a call to action, inviting everyone to carry forward the values Frank embodied in life.
