He was employed by various companies in Indiana and obtained many patents for some of his employers. He loved a good challenge wether it was work or life related. He loved to waterski, snow ski, snorkel, and go white water rafting with his sons and friends. This enthusiasm carried over into the projects he worked on. During Franks’ freshman year at Rose his english professor told him it was a good thing that he was going to be an engineer because he sure did slather the english language.
