Frank Siller has served as Chairman and CEO of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation since its inception.
Siller, an entrepreneur, was the owner of several business including a retail operation and home building company. One
of the great joys in his life was having his younger brother Stephen learning the trade and working with him. Although
Stephen became a member of the FDNY in 1995, like many firefighters, he found himself juggling two jobs to support his
young family, and there was no better place to work than by his older brother’s side.
While visiting Sgt Brendan Morocco, the first-ever surviving quadruple amputee, at Walter Reed Hospital, Siller tapped
into his extensive home-building experience and offered to build Morocco a mortgage-free home. Siller was compelled
to help Morocco reclaim his independence, founding the Tunnel to Towers Smart Home Program in the process.
For almost two decades, he has been serving our nation’s heroes, the veterans and first responders that risk their lives
to protect us. To date, the Foundation has spent over $125 million for those defending our freedoms and their families.
Siller has been named Honorary Battalion Chief by FDNY Commissioner Salvatore Cassano in 2010 and was the recipient
of the Department of the Army Commanders Award for Public Service in 2015. This is the fourth highest honor United
States Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian. He received the NYPD’s Holy Name Society Presidents Award
in 2015 and in 2019 was named the Police Benevolent Association’s Person of the Year and the Christopher Leadership
Award for “the invaluable aid he brings to catastrophically injured veterans, first responders and Gold Star Families.”
Siller and his wife Patricia are the proud parents of three children and grandparents of five grandchildren and live in
Staten Island, NY.
