Frank dedicated himself with love for his country, family, and friends. He served in the United States Air Force, and received the Warren County Distinguished Military Service medal. After serving in the United States Air Force, Frank was active with the Budd Lake Fire Department in Mt Olive, New Jersey and worked for Mein Oil Company located in New Jersey for many years. He was the President of the Phillipsburg Senior Center in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, where he resided.
A man of many interests, Frank enjoyed weekend camping trips with friends and family, and running marathons and entering competitions. His love of photography and film developing lead him to creating his own in-home studio. Frank also enjoyed Amateur Radio, also known as ham radio, the use of the radio spectrum for noncommercial communications. Antique watches and the mechanisms of their functionality and operation fascinated Frank. He loved being the center of attention, and always had a way of making you laugh or smile. He was a man of kindness, integrity, and great values.
