Frank Cicero, an omnipresent man in Orange County sports, died from heart failure last week.

He coached football at Servite and is the father of longtime county football assistant coach Bobby Cicero and grandfather to a couple of great Servite players of the past, Greg and Joe Cicero. Frank — “Mr. C” as he was often called — was friends with Rams coach Chuck Knox, all-time Angels great Jim Fregosi and many more.

Mr. C might have umpired one of your Little League games.

The viewing will be Monday at Dimond & Shannon Mortuary at 10630 Chapman Ave. in Garden Grove. A second viewing beginning at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the same location followed by the Rosary at 6:30 p.m.

The funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Columban Catholic Church next Wednesday at 10 a.m. Burial will be held after Mass at Holy Sepulchur Cemetery in Orange.
