Franklin Parisi Obituary

Dr. Franklin M. "Frank" Parisi passed away peacefully surrounded by his family Saturday, Jan. 8, 2022. He was 88 years old. Frank was the loving father of Jason Parisi, Christina Parisi and Lisa (Ephriam) Parisi-Hill and grandfather of Gibson Hallisey; brother of Jerry (Barbara) Parisi, Millie (late Tom) Morris, late Mary (Nick) Mazzie, late Clara (Carl) Tuskan, late Edith (Lou) Botti, late Dominic (surviving Clara) Parisi, late Joseph (Joy) Parisi and late Rosie (Jim) Ruffo and uncle and friend of many. Born in Wilmerding, he graduated from Westinghouse Memorial High School, in 1952. He later graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1962. Frank was a doctor of chiropractic for 60 years, owning his own thriving practice. He was open and serving his community until the very end of his life. If you were ever in his office you knew how happy he was to be there. His happiness came from serving and helping others heal. Frank was very proud of his heritage. He was a first-generation Italian-American whose first language was Italian. Nothing was more important to him than family and the traditions his mother passed down to him. Those traditions were honored up to his last Christmas, and will be continued. Frank was an avid gardener and his zucchini flowers will be missed by anyone lucky enough to eat them. He was a lifelong active member of Concept Therapy and has many friends from C.T. Above all else, Frank was a beloved father and grandfather to three children, who always thought and still think he is their hero. All services will be private. Arrangements are entrusted to ALFIERI FUNERAL HOME INC., Wilmerding. Please visit us at www.alfierifuneralhome.com for online condolences.

Dr. Parisi was a wonderful person and a phenomenal chiropractor. He has a personality that could light up a room, and he had a mannerism that always made a person feel special and appreciated. He will be sorely missed.

In recent years, my visits to my hometown of Pixburgh (Churchill, actually) always included at least one, and often multiple visits to Dr Parisi. To me he was like Yoda--a man devoted.to my healing and well-being, and doing it through chiropractic, but with much Spiritual Energy and Deep Understanding involved. I always felt better for seeing him, as did those friends I sent. Initially I found my way there via my longtime friends Donna and Larry Cervi.
May your memories of Dr Parisi (whether as doctor, father, brother...whatever) be a blessing.

Your father was one of the old school chiropractors taught by B.J. Palmer. He was cherished among his colleagues for his passion and fire for our profession. He inspired many young chiropractors and patients and I´m sure his family. I attended CT at his office about 10-15 years ago. He was 50 years into practice back then I thought! What a gem and a blessing to human kind. He will be deeply missed.
