Frank was an enthusiastic outdoorsman, birdwatcher, golfer and musician. One of his passions for decades was playing Old-Time Appalachian string band music with his friends.

He was known for his sense of humor, his laughter, and his kind and generous spirit. He will be missed by all of those who loved him and the many lives he touched. Frank was preceded in death by his father, Allen.
