Frank Garofalo was ‘heart of the newsroom’ in Wichita from the 50s to 90s

Frank Garofalo was a classic daily and investigative journalist who brought down a corrupt regime at the Sedgwick County Courthouse, while cheerfully mentoring younger employees at the Wichita Eagle and Beacon and raising a family with his firecracker Sicilian wife, Anita.

Francis Stephan Garofalo’s Bronx Italian Catholic youth shaped his character and career. He became a household in name Wichita when hometown journalism flourished in two daily Wichita newspapers.
