A 1967 graduate of Edgewood High School, Frank grew up in the Stinesville/Gosport area, where his family served as pastors at the Stinesville Pentecostal Church. A gifted musician, he played several instruments, but the guitar was his passion. He was proud to share his musical gifts with his family and others throughout his life.

Frank proudly served in the United States Navy from 1969 to 1974 during the Vietnam War. He received his training at naval bases in Michigan and California before being stationed for a year in Vietnam and three years in the Philippines. Frank worked as an engineer and diesel mechanic aboard Navy ships, tugboats, and submarines. It was in the Philippines he met the love of his life, Rosa. Together, they returned to Indiana in 1973 with their young daughter, Catherine, and son, Joseph. Their youngest son, Gregory, was born in 1979.

For over 30 years, Frank worked as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic and Driver/Operator for Huber, Hunt & Nichols (Hunt Construction) in Indianapolis. He was a proud member of the Teamsters Union Local 716.

Frank loved the outdoors—hunting, fishing, boating, camping, and riding motorcycles were among his favorite pastimes. Above all, he cherished spending time with his family and was always the first to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

He will be remembered for his kind heart, strong work ethic, musical talent, and unwavering devotion to his family and friends.
