Frank attended University of Florida on a basketball scholarship. Frank was an entrepreneur and ran a successful manufacture representative sales business in Atlanta for 25 years. He was a member of Alpharetta First United Methodist and an ardent supporter of City of Hope and other local charities. Frank had a passion for sporting, the outdoors and travel. He enjoyed bird hunting, deep sea fishing, golf and skiing. He was also known for his love of fine wine and cigars. He enjoyed entertaining, and being a man of many interests, he always had a story to share. Nothing surpassed his love for the important individuals in his life, his family and his friends. Frank was a gentle giant of a man kind, compassionate, generous and a good listener. He humbly lived out his faith and cared for so many people. Frank loved life and lived it to the fullest. He will be forever missed. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servant." Psalm 116:15 Above all else, Frank cherished his family.
