There were several times this semester that I emailed Dr. Ep and told him that I was going to throw my computer out of the window, and he calmed me down and fixed the problem everytime. He did more than just advise us or teach us, he got to know us as people. He knew how overwhelming our semester could be, and did his best to be there for us. He went above and beyond his job because you could tell that he really loved his job. He was a happy man who radiated his friendship. Very sorry to hear of his passing, I send my love and prayers to his family.

Words cannot describe the impact that Dr. Ep has had on many of the school psychology students here at Rowan. As a teacher, he had confidence in me when I didn't have it myself. As a friend, he would always lend an ear to listen, and his office door was open. Things at Rowan are just not as bright without his presence.

Dr. Epifanio was a truly great professor. His door was always open and he gave each student the same amount of time and concern. I'm not sure how he got any of his work done with all of the time he gave to his students. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have known him and to have learned from him.

I'm a recent 1st year student of Dr. Epifanio and only knowing him for a couple of months. I quickly learned of his passion for teaching others. He always took the time to meet with me to discuss any question I had about my thesis. It is not always often a student gets the chance to have such a caring professor such as Dr. E. I am deeply sorry to hear of his passing. His family and friends are in my prayers as they go through such a hard time.

Dr. Epifanio, aka Dr. Ep, was one of the greatest professors I've ever had. He genuinely cared about his students, not just with their education, but with their personal lives also. He always took the time to listen (even if he didn't have it) and help with anything he could. It is hard to believe he is actually gone because he was such an important aspect to my education at Rowan; it all happened so fast. I wish I could have gotten a chance to give him a huge hug and thank him for everything he has done, not only for me, but for every other student whose lives he touched. He was a brilliant man and I am so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to have him impact my life. I always looked forward to Dr. Ep's classes because he was consistently happy and always made me laugh; it was such a blessing to a stressful, busy life to be graced by his presence. I am deeply saddened by this tragedy, although I know God has a special place for him. I pray for his family and friends who are even more impacted than I am because I know how hard this is for me. I can only be so happy that I was able to have him in my life, which was such a blessing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

Frank was a dear friend and valued colleague in the School Psychology program at Rowan University. He touched the lives of many of our graduate students who loved him for his compassion and dedication to his field and to them. I first got to know Frank through our work together as members of the New Jersey Association of School Psychologists Executive Board more than 25 years ago. He went on to be elected President of that association.
Nicole, Lisa and Frank Jr. can be very proud of the life and work of their father. He was a wonderful person who loved them so. He beamed when he spoke about Grace and Ellie, his granddaughters. He leaves a legacy of love.

I met Dr. Epifanio, when he was giving a presentation on Positive Behavioral Supports at Camden County Technical Schools. At the time, I was considering a career in school psychology, and his warm example shed a shinning light upon the profession, which encouraged me to enroll in the school psychology program at Rowan University.
Dr. Epifanio was the type of person who put the needs of others above his own. I will never forget him and will always strive to follow the positive example, which he always displayed.

Your loss is enormous for a gentle,compassionate, loving man has gone home to be with His God. I value my association with Frank who generously shared and imparted his expertise with me in the field of School Psychology. His bright, broad smile was infectious as was his genuine concern for each individual with whom he came in contact. You have lost a dear, loving, wonderful father and we School Psychologists are less

It doesn't seen "real" that such a kind, talented, gentle person is gone. Someone once said when God calls one of his people before "old" age sets in, that their work here on earth was done. I can recall when Frank and his parents lived four doors from us on Beacon Ave. He and his Mom (Aunt Rose) would spend many afternoons with us. These are memories that will stay with me forever. rest in peace, Frankie. We will sorely miss you! Love, Mary and John

Dear Nicole, Lisa and Frank, We are so very sorry about your father's passing. What a good man he was! He always reminded me of his father, your grandfather. I was young at the time, but I do remember that he used to come over our house to play when he and his parents lived down the street from us. Everyone's kind words about your Dad are such a wonderful tribute to him personally and professionally. We have all been blessed to have had him a part of our lives. He'll always stay in our hearts.

Isabella Moreno, School Psychologist posted a condolence
I met Dr. Epifanio when he was the supervisor of the Child Study Team at Monroe Township and I was one of the school psychology intern from Rowan University.
I was immediately struck by his friendliness, ability to put people at ease and great amount of knowledge. I also connected with Dr. Epifanio on the basis of our italian heritage of which he was proud . During my internship, I felt part of the Monroe team truly welcomed and accepted . I really feel that Dr. Epifanio as well as that wonderful team in the mid 90's facilitated that process.
Dr. Epifanio was not only a cultured man but also had a great sense of humor and performing ability.
I remember going with the Monroe township staff to a Karakoe night and Dr. Epifanio performing flawlessly "Mac the knife".
Dr. Epifanio was my introduction to the working field of school psychology. He was a mentor. He radiated life and humanity.
I will never forget him.
Sincerely,
Isabella Moreno School Psychologist

I had the honor of knowing Frank (Mr. Epifanio) to me for just over a year. He was always very kind and always invited me over to his home when i was coming from New York to visit his daughter Lisa and the family. He always had the time to sit with me and trade jokes and talk baseball and all sorts of other subjects. Knowing he was a doctor and a very intelligent man but his best attribute was he always made time for anyone to sit and talk and listen. He was very kind and a great father figure to all of us. He will be missed but he raised 3 great childen and they are very proud of him. God bless you and may you rest in peace. Love always, George Siozios.

My name is Rich and I work in the building where Frank rented an office in Berlin. I was shocked and deeply saddened when I learned of his passing and would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to his family. We had different schedules so I would not see him too often but always enjoyed talking with him for a few minutes when our paths crossed. I most recently saw him I think at Walmart and he was smiling and as pleasant as always as we chatted. Being in my forties I always assumed he was around my age and didn't realize he was already a grandfather but I was pleased to learn that. While it seems wrong that he left the world so young please take comfort in the knowledge that he did what he needed to do. He was a good person who worked hard and helped others in need and accomplished much in his 56 years, perhaps most of which raising a family who are now raising their own family. Again, I am sorry for your loss but as the saddness and mourning fades you'll be left with love and memmories and comfort that he is in good hands with God.
Take care, Rich Tyrrell

I was very saddened to hear abouut Dr Epifanio's passing. I worked with Dr Epifanio for many years while he was at Monroe Twp Board of Ed. He was a very kind, peaceful, positive person, with such a gentle spirit. When my sister was going thru some difficulties in grad school I asked Dr Epifanio for help. He said - have your sister call me, and it's because of him, his help, advice and professional support that she has her Master's degree today. He was truly a beautiful person. God bless your family during this difficult time.

Frank Epifanio was only in my life for a brief period of time, yet he had such an impact on my life that I have been changed forever. I would like his family to know that he was the kindess man I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He did not mind showing that he cared about people and that everyone touched anothers life no matter how brief the encounter. I think of all the times I have seen him interact with students and the kindness and genuine concern he showed toward everyone he met and I want you to know that he is one of the angels that GOD sent to us in human form. There is no other way to express the way I feel about him but to say that I know that he was loved and will be missed in a world where there are far too few, genuinely kind, people. I would like to thank you, his family and GOD for sharing such a kind soul with us.
May you find peace and blessings in the knowledge that your father was a wonderful person.
If there is anything that I can do for any of you, please do not hesitate to ask.

Dear Nicole, Lisa and Frankie: We are so very sorry for your loss but have to believe it is heaven's gain. I loved my cousin Frankie very much. When I looked in his face, I saw my dear Uncle Frank who took me under his wing as a teenager and taught me how to really read and analyze a book. Frankie was so much like his Dad ... most of all in how much he cherished each one of you. When we saw him caring for Grace Rose, we saw a contented man. Sad as we are that he didn't have the time to do this for Ellie, you'll keep his spirit and heart alive in the stories you relate to both girls over the years. There is a lot to tell about their Grandpop. We send you our prayers and love. Ermina and Lou

Frank was one of the best! I first met Frank when he was president of the New Jersey Association of School Psychologists. I remember receiving a phone call from him encouraging me to become involved with the executive board. Frank’s leadership and friendship were the result of his enviable intellect and character. He touched the lives of many children, families, and students who are better from knowing him.
On a personal level, Frank, was a storyteller, humorous, and funny. He often shared great stories, which almost invariably related to his great love for his family and friends.
Even though Frank’s departure was too early, he will remain in our minds as a great role model, colleague, and friend. Frank was one of the best!

Uncle Frankie was such an amazing man. He was my Godfather and someone I truly looked up to and admired. He had the best laugh ever. Always had a good story to tell. It was so funny listening to him sing karaoke! Just heard him sing this past Memorial day. He was a good singer and a great dancer! Loved big family gatherings and having everyone together. I will always remember him making Nicole, Lisa, Frankie and I laugh at the most inappropriate times! Dancing with him at my wedding in the Bahamas was unforgettable. I am so glad he was a part of my wedding day. We had such a great time on vacation. His Kitchen looks fabulous! He was so proud of it. What a wonderful man. Just reading some of the things his students had to say about him makes me so proud that he was my Uncle. Such a kind, gentle soul. Holidays just won't be the same. I am so thankful to have had him in my life. I love him so much and will miss him terribly. -Dana

Dad, I don't think you will ever know how much I am going to miss you. My heart feels like it weighs a ton and I hope one day soon it lessens. Everything I have accomplished in life was because of you and mommy. You are the most brilliant and intelligent man I know and one day I hope to accomplish as much as you have. Coming home from work and seeing Lincoln cuddling with you on the sofa will never be forgotten. You were his best friend. As far as being a father, you were the best. Dad you were the most dedicated person and for that I am always grateful. You have taught me things that a classroom cannot teach. I will always remember our love for '"The Boss." You have showed me that to really enjoy music, you must listen to the words not just the sound. You have taught me to accept people for the beauty they hold inside not on the out. In all of the projects you have taken on over the years, you were dedicated and passionate about every single one. There is not one day that will go by that I won't think of you. I can only hope that I continue to make you proud in all that I try to achieve. I will do my best to make the kitchen just the way you wanted it. You were so proud of the new cabinets. I will make sure to keep them clean. You will always be in my heart. Love, Lisa

My heartfelt condolences are with your family at this time. I will keep your family in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with your Dad in Monroe twp. for a short while. I enjoyed the talks that your Dad and I had about psychology, which my daughter was going to school for and who would have ever thought that when my daughter finished undergrad school, your father was her professor at Rowan. He took special care of her for me and she graduated with her masters in psychology in May. I will always be grateful for the guidance & kindness he gave to her. He was a wonderful man. I hope you find peace in the memories that you will always have of your father.

I got to know Frank so well this past year. He made me smile every time i saw him, and i hope i made him smile just as much. When i was having my kitchen remodeled, he would come, pretty much weekly, and check out the progress. When it was finally done, he decided to get his kitchen done, and me and him went to home depot to pick everything out. Also, every time i brought my daughter over there, he'd always have a little something for her and make a big fuss. Wow how kids love that.. It's the little things like that, that make such big memories... We will always remember.. Melanie and Cassidy Middleman

I will never forget my first few years of teaching in the Monroe Twp. School District under the direction of Dr. Frank Epifanio. He would stop by my classroom to offer his patient guidance as I got to know my students and gained more confidence as a new teacher. He was truly a wonderful teacher and mentor. He loved the kids and was passionate about teaching and learning. When he retired from our school district and went to Rowan University, I remember thinking about how fortunate the students were to have Dr. Ep as their teacher, mentor and friend. Frank, we were truly blessed to have had you in our lives. I know my life is richer and I am a better teacher today because of you. May God bless and keep your family in this most difficult time.

Frank was one of the most positive and upbeat persons I've ever known. I miss his cheerful presence at work.
