Frank, known as Chookie to family and friends, attended East High School and then enlisted in the United States Army, serving in the Korean War and was honorably discharged in 1955. He married the love of his life, the former Donna Vagillion on July 4, 1959 at St. Stanislaus Church in Youngstown.

He was a member of Christ our Savior Parish at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Struthers, past member of the Korean War Veterans, Mahoning County Democratic Club, East High Fruit Street Reunion. A true artisan, he enjoyed woodworking and making many fine things. He took great pride in making the podium that is still in use today at the Mahoning County Court House. He enjoyed traveling and was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He was a devoted husband and father and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
