United States Army Veteran.
Frank died peacefully surrounded by family on September 21, 2024, just four days after his 90th birthday. Frank was born and raised in Steubenville, Ohio, graduated from Steubenville High School and Franciscan University of Steubenville. He went on to work for 40 years at General Electric, Nela Park as a Financial Analyst.
Frank genuinely enjoyed spending time with his family, playing cards and traveling. Dale and Frank played in several bridge groups with their longtime friends. Raised in Steubenville amongst Steelers fans, Frank converted into a diehard Cleveland Browns fan, never missing a game.
