Frank was a native of New Orleans, a lifelong resident of Harahan, and chose to live his last days as a Texan with his son, daughter, and grandchildren. Frank was a devoted Catholic and a lifelong member of St. Rita Catholic Church. Frank continued his education at Delgado Community College and studied engineering, and retired from Waldemar S.
