Frank worked for Oscar Meyer as a machine operator and as a supervisor at a Mattress Factory for Arnold. He was truly blessed with a beautiful family. He loves his family. Franny enjoyed hunting, fishing , boating, kayaking and karate. When he found a hobby, and he found many, he would indulge in each 100% on the first try. We love each and everyone of Franny's children, like the rest of us, there were many challenges along the way, life is a journey. A journey that is not designed to be traveled alone. Barbara was his life. No one ever teaches or knows how to raise children, so we do what our background has taught us.

We will miss him more than words can say. When someone passes, you need to keep the best memories alive. As long as someone has a memory of you, you are never truly gone. Franny, we will miss you. Our hearts are broken.
