Frank Colalella was blessed...
and dedicated his life to giving back.
Success isn't easy
Frank Colalella was born and raised in Steubenville, Ohio and was the eldest son of Frank and Agnes Colalella. He was educated at Catholic Central High School and Youngstown State University. Frank was not only book smart and street smart; his true gift was being ‘people smart.’
His basic belief was there was good in everyone and that we all deserve a second chance. Frank’s word was his bond and he did deals on a handshake all the time!
Frank’s work ethic was unmatched. He started his business life with $200 in his pocket and built companies in transportation, recycling, real estate, and computers. At one time, he was selling computers to the Pentagon!
Salt of the Earth...
The Frank Colalella Foundation is built to honor the life and legacy of a man who was “salt of the earth’ and never turned his back on a friend or stranger. The Foundation will proudly award scholarships to area seniors who show these qualities and plan on a career in business or the trades.
