He was a proud American Veteran who belonged to the American Legion in Massena and the Sons of The American Legion in Hogansburg. Frank was also a member of the Massena Moose Lodge and had a great love for being outdoors with hunting and fishing being some of his pastimes. He also enjoyed playing solitaire on his phone, playing pool and shuffleboard, and greatly enjoyed socializing with his family and friends.
