After his retirement from Sears in 1992, Frank relocated to Florida with his wife and found his calling in retirement to be as a sales associate at Linus Automotive Group in Vero Beach.

Throughout his life, Frank was a devoted husband, father and mentor. His strong spirit to honor, loyalty and duty were a hallmark of his life. He was successful in his careers due to his caring spirit that he shared with all who came into contact with him.
