Frank Cosmos Trecroci, 79, of Kenosha passed away peacefully at Aurora Medical Center on April 11,2022 with his family by his side. Frank was born on March 25,1943 to the late Frank and Frances (Cesario) Trecroci. He attended Bain Elementary, Washington Junior High and Graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1962. Frank worked at American Motors Corporation for five years after high school. While working there he developed a love for AMC cars; especially the Rambler, Ambassador, Javelin and AMX models. He had a very sharp knowledge of the history of Nash, AMC and loved sharing with anyone that would listen. In 1987 he brought back the very popular “Scoop the Loop” event to Downtown Kenosha.
In October 1967, Frank was granted his Real Estate Broker License and thus began his nearly 55 year career. He worked for his brother Guy at Guy D Trecroci Realty and Bear Realty, for many years he was the top Realtor in sales for Kenosha. He eventually started his own brokerage of Trecroci Realty in 2000. Frank was a visionary and ambassador for Downtown Kenosha. Along with his friend and business partner, Ralph Nudi Sr. he was instrumental in bringing businesses back to Downtown Kenosha. He was involved in over 85% of all Downtown Kenosha’s property sales.
On January 31,1970 Frank married Jennifer Fasci at St Mark’s Catholic Church sharing 52 years of marriage. They have three beautiful children, Lori, Stephanie and Benjamin.
Frank was somewhat of a quiet guy, he loved being home with his family. He was content with working in the greenhouse, planting flowers and vegetables as he quietly had a green thumb. He also loved to keep his cars, especially his black AMX immaculately clean and always seemed to be washing them inside and out. He made homemade pizza from scratch that became legendary with his family and friends.
Frank was preceded in death by his Parents and Brother-In-Law, Mark Fasci.
Frank is survived by his wife Jennifer, his daughters Lori, Stephanie (Jasper) Bosco and son Benjamin. Grandchildren; Aristotle, Alexander (Hannah Rios) and Isabella Ortiz, Franco and Michael Bosco. Brothers; Guy D (Sandy) Trecroci, Mark Trecroci and his sister Rae (Don) Willems and many loving nieces and nephews as well as his best friend Keith Dumesic.
The family would especially thank all the dedicated and compassionate staff of Aurora Medical Center including Dr’s. Shah, Bawaadam Rizzo and Rufer.

Mary DeFranco says:
Many years ago Frank helped me with buying and selling four different properties. He was such a kind man and such a gentleman. I remember one time Frank had an open house on a property I was trying to sell. Before the open house, I brought over some snacks for him to eat. He was so appreciative and told me I was the only person who had done that for him. My family and myself have always been very fond of all the Trecroci Family. Rest In Peace Frank and May God Bless All His Family. Mary DeFranco.
