Frank Vecchione recently retired after over 50 years of practice. He is a true treasure, representing the best in our profession. His protégé, Karen Giannelli, and I—both lifers at the firm he helped found—got together with Frank last week and wanted to let him know how much he means to us and share some thoughts on an extraordinary person.

Many know Frank as Dean of the New Jersey Bankruptcy Bar and senior member of Crummy, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione (now Gibbons P.C.), but he is so much more than that. Professor, veteran, family man, tough as nails, a gentleman and mentor who led by example and shaped the lives of so many. A prolific attorney who never lost his temper, cool, calm under pressure, guiding clients through the most difficult times in their professional lives when their financial worlds were caving in. Nobody was more respected in the courtroom. Nobody.
