After graduating from McMinn Central High School, Frank began working on towboats on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers and then he retired from Bowater. Frank's last job was serving as a bail bondsman.

Frank was widely traveled, having visited all 50 states and most of the Caribbean Islands. He never met a stranger and made friends wherever he went. One of his passions was riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle and attending the Sturgis motorcycle rallies. Wherever he traveled, he always purchased a Harley t-shirt and he wore one of those shirts daily. He spent the last several years living on the family farm in the mountains enjoying the peace and quiet, watching the wildlife and often playing one of his guitars.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, August 23rd from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. in the chapel of Bordwine Funeral Home.

A celebration of Frank's life will be held at 2:30.
