Former Malden resident celebrates 104 years!

Former Malden resident Francis Riccardone recently celebrated 104 years young! Mayor Gary Christenson surprised him at a family gathering with a Citation from the City of Malden in recognition of his milestone birthday. Frank was born in Malden in 1921, graduated from Malden Catholic High School and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Together with his beloved wife Marguerite, they raised six children, and he is now a loving and devoted grandfather to his nine grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Frank’s secret to what has led to a such a long and happy and healthy life is “being a nice person.”
