Frank retired in 1983 from the Veterans Administration in the engineering department. He was an Army Veteran, a member of the Scioto Lodge No. 6, F & AM and a member of the Bethel Chapel Church. After retirement, he kept busy with driving a school bus for our Huntington Local Schools. He also plumbed several new churches and homes, taught Sunday School for many years and held different positions in the church during his 48 years of serving the Lord.

Frank was an avid reader, enjoyed cutting fire wood and he also loved his candy. He was loved and respected all who knew him.
