His professional journey took him to countries within Central and South America and Southeast Asia. After 32 years of employment, Frank retired from Lucent Technologies.
When he wasn't traveling for work, Frank enjoyed fishing on his boat through the Merrimack River, into the Atlantic Ocean. His children will always hold dear the memories of time spent with their dad on his boat. His grandchildren will fondly remember the many moments he played an active and loving role in their lives. He also enjoyed windsurfing and sailing with friends and was an excellent craftsman. An avid hunter, Frank and his hunting buddies would spend many deer seasons together. Every Friday, Frank could be found on the golf course with his two best friends.
