About

It is with heavy hearts but beautiful memories that we announce the passing of our beloved Frank Ribaudo , co-founder of Club Café, visionary leader, and champion of Boston’s LGBTQ+ community. Frank spent his life fostering spaces of joy, radical visibility, inclusivity, and compassion. Please join Frank’s husband Joe Posa, his family, and friends as we gather to honor his incredible legacy, share stories, and celebrate a life exceptionally well-lived. We will meet at the very venue that beautifully reflects his lifelong spirit of hospitality and community. In lieu of flowers or similar gifts, we kindly request that you honor Frank's legacy by making a donation to the Community Resource Initiative (CRI) at Frank Ribaudo's Celebration of Life on GIVEBUTTER . Frank was a dedicated, long-time CRI Board Member, and supporting their mission meant the world to him.
