Frank Cabral, Jr., “Frank the Barber,” age 70, of Rochester, passed away Dec. 16 after a long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by loved ones.

Frank was the son of the late Frank and Margaret Cabral, Sr.

Survivors include his daughter, Sara Ann Lima, her husband, Antonio S. Lima, Jr., and his granddaughter, Zaria Cosette Lima, all of Wareham.

Frank served in the Navy during the Vietnam era on the USS Boxer and is well known for his motto, “If you like your freedom, thank a vet.”

Frank followed his father's legacy and was the owner/operator of Love-Lea-Acre Frank's Barber Shop, the first barber shop in Rochester, established in 1960. He enjoyed all of his many customers.

Frank enjoyed motorcycles, hot rods and was a gun enthusiast. He enjoyed hanging out in the garage with friends and loved to pass time by watching cars drive by the farm and wave.

On Frank's behalf, the Cabral family would like to recognize and thank all of Frank's caretakers, especially his best friend, Chet Smigel, and cousin, Lisa DeBrito (Costa).

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
