Son of the late Frank and Dorothy Fiume; fiance` of the late Sandy (Bold) McCune; loving father of Michael (fiancee Jen Kominsky) McCune, Jamie Lee McCune, Anthony (fiancee` Katie Swanson) Fiume; and late infant twins; brother of Lisa, Brenda, and Chet Fiume. Frank loved his pugs, Taz and Bella, and was an avid drag racer and Mopar enthusiast, and loved by many people. We are saddened by the loss in our racing community. Frank Fiume, long time Mopar racer and enthusiast, engine builder and head machinist at Valley Auto, passed suddenly Saturday morning. The entire Pittsburgh Raceway Park community extends their deepest and most sincere condolences to Frank's family and friends.
