Frank was born in Boston and served in the U.S. Navy. He worked as a Supervisor for the United States Postal Service. He also worked part time for Hart Brothers Caterers for a number of years. Frank was raised in Charlestown but spent most of his adult life raising a family in Hull. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus and was known to always have a pool cue handy to play a game or two. He also enjoyed an occasional game of golf but always wanted to hit the ball straighter or further. He and Mary always had a dog in the house and especially liked basset hounds, they must have had 5 or 6 over the years. After they retired they moved to Mashpee briefly before settling in Rockland where they lived out their later years.
