They were married and two years later were assigned back to the U.S. After serving in the Air Force, he worked in telecommunications for GTE. He also enjoyed a side interest with video arcade maintenance for Putt-Putt.
Frank had a passion for animals and was devoted to his three rescues. His second passion was cars, and he spent hours restoring them to their original 50’s condition. He enjoyed working in his garden and helping friends and neighbors whenever he could.
