Frank Cruz III, 87, of Attleboro, MA passed away peacefully at HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Inpatient Center in Providence, Rhode Island on May 11, 2022. He was the beloved husband of the late Shirley Irene (Rock) Cruz, who passed on June 5, 2021, and to whom he was married onAugust 8, 1956.
Born in Taunton, MA on April 25, 1935, he was a son of the late Frank Cruz and the late Evelyn M. (Lorian) Cruz. He was a resident of the City of Attleboro for most of his life.

Frank enjoyed traveling with Shirley, having explored most of the East Coast from Key West, FL into Canada. He enjoyed going out to dinner and ballroom dancing with Shirley. He held a special place in his heart for grand dogs: "Freddie" and "Hazel".
The center of Frank's world was always his family and, more than anything, he treasured spending as much time as possible with them.
