Born on November 27, 1932, Frank graduated from Central High School in 1950. He joined the Navy during the Korean war from 1950-1954 with a tour of duty to Japan and on the CVA-21 U.S.S. Boxer. In 1954 Frank went back to the University of Nebraska at Omaha, reconnected with his Central High School classmate, and married the love of his life, Irene on August 6, 1955. In 1957 he earned a degree with a major in Business Administration and minor in Finance. He took over the family business and became the owner of Omaha Food Brokerage Company for 38 years while raising 4 children. In May 1980 Frank joined the Catholic Church.

Frank was a true outdoorsman! He loved all sports, especially golfing, fishing, and hunting with his Brittany Spaniel, Fritz. He traveled worldwide either on work trips or yearly family vacations. After retirement in 1994, he spent 24 years during winter months enjoying the warmth and ocean in South Texas along with 20 plus years in a cabin with family and friends on the Platte River during the summer. He attended 20 VC-35 Navy reunions in the fall of each year.

Frank is now rejoicing in heaven with family and dear ones who preceded him, and he hopes that his golfing buddies have a tee time for him.

Until we all are reunited forever, your love, smile and particularly your sense of humor will fill us with laughter and remain in our hearts forever.
