Frank Medeiros

2022 Inductee, Sunrock Capital

Born on August 28, 1937, in Fallriver MA, Frank Medeiros was a first-generation only child of parents from Italy and Portugal.  He graduated from UMASS Dartmouth obtaining his business degree and obtained special certification from the University of Michigan. Medeiros began his career with Commercial Credit in Atlanta then Commercial Credit in Dallas then settled in the Commercial Credit Baltimore Office.  He would go on to work for additional companies including Marine Midland, SANWA , and lastly, Sunrock Capital. Medeiros served as SFNet chairman in 1993.

    Medeiros passed away on December 19, 2000.  His children (Ashli Medeiros, special educator, Lutherville, MD and Jeremy Medeiros, attorney, Dallas, Texas) both remember that many of their father’s  dearest friends were members of SFNet, some previously inducted into the SFNet Hall of Fame and others speaking at his memorial service.  His children have taken special care to attempt to instill his ethics and hardworking nature into his grandchildren (Aaron, Samuel and Francis) along with the good- natured and giving spirit that their father shared with his industry.

    Medeiros’ son Jeremy shared that “as my own career has developed and I look back at the relationships that I have cultivated at my own industry conferences and events, I spend a lot of time thinking about my dad, learning more about the professional life that he lived and the importance of those of you that lived within it.”  His daughter remembers his wicked sense of humor and commitment to work while being a constant support in their lives.
