Frank graduated from Winnsboro high school before taking some classes at College of Lake County, and becoming a personal security assistant at V.A. in North Chicago. He was a retired RM1/SW in the U.S.N. where he served for 20 years from October 1979 to October 1999. His favorite holiday was football season and was a diehard Vikings fan.
