FRAN CIMMINO,  a nationally known theatre pipe organist, had over 50 years of organ design and tonal voicing experience and enjoyed a long career as a professional musician, a gifted artist and teacher. He was educated at Paterson State College and Carnegie Institute. He was choir director for the 1st Army Company choir at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Fran had a wonderful talent voicing pipe and electronic organs as well as performing on them. He was an invaluable asset to South Florida Organ where he worked as a voicer and finisher.

Fran last resided in Cape Coral, Florida with his CONN 652 organ that he decorated as a Wurlitzer... it sounded just like one. He was a member of the local AGO and a regular at Orgelfest. Fran always had a gracious and humble yet engaging personality. In his performance, "Fran captured the hearts of his deeply appreciative audience".
