He has two granddaughters, one adoptive granddaugh ter, two grandsons, three great granddaughters with a fourth on the way and two great grandsons all in Vermont. Also many loving nieces and nephews across the US.
Frank was very loved by all of his friends and family and he enjoyed spending time with them too. He was a very well known man, and if you knew him, you wouldn’t ever forget him. He always had an interesting story to tell. Frank had numerous projects all going on at the same time, because that’s how he was, a people pleas er, although he would never admit it.
He enjoyed building and fix ing Harley’s ( of course riding them too). He built dragsters and usually had some kind of fast, souped up classic cars ( as he used to race them and was a gifted mechanic.) He drove tractor trailers across the country, and enjoyed fishing and hunting.
He lived life hard and to its fullest. With friends and family scattered across the US, he always managed to pop in for a visit and help out if needed. Frank will be greatly missed by all. You would be hard pressed to talk to anyone that met Frank and didn’t have some thing nice to say about him. He was very “Old School” and that was one of his greatest traits.
