Mayor Sarno Issues Statement on the Passing of Langone’s Florist Founder Frank Langone

Mayor Sarno stated, “First of all, my sympathy, thoughts, and prayers to Mr. Frank Langone’s wife Irma, family, staff and friends.  Mr. Langone was a well-respected and hard-working businessman who always had his heart in our Springfield community, especially for our/his beloved South End neighborhood.  He lived, worked and was a staple of our/his South End neighborhood.  Old school, loyal, creative and caring, he had a very dedicated customer base who appreciated he and his staff’s beautiful floral works – counted among them is my wife Carla and I too.  Now up in heaven, though your mind and vision of creativity was always clear – you now can see the light of all.  May God rest your soul and thank you Mr. Langone.”
