Frank Paul Soltesz passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 14, 2020 at JFK Medical Center in Edison. He was 77 years old.

He was born in Welch, WV and resided in Carteret before moving to Woodbridge in 1958.

Frank earned his Bachelor's degree from Seton Hall University and his Master's degree in Social Work from Fordham University. He began his career as a Family Counselor with Catholic Charities in Newark and retired as Clinical Director of Somerset Hills School in Warren.

Frank was an avid New York Yankee baseball fan, and for better or worse, a New York Jets fan. He loved Seton Hall basketball and country music, and in his retirement he traveled, amassed an amazing collection of hats, and spent time with his grandchildren every chance he could.

Frank was always thinking of those less fortunate, donating to many charities and volunteering his time to raise money for St. Jude's. Frank was a communicant of Saint James Catholic Church in Woodbridge.

Surviving are his wife of 55 years, Christine Eberhardt Soltesz; daughters Susan Ellison and her husband, Scott, of New London, NH and Jennifer Ceglia and her husband, Scott, of Downingtown, PA; sister, Sandy Magner, of Emmaus, PA; and grandchildren, Andrew, Maggie, Olivia and Molly, as well as many nieces and nephews.
