Frank being of the Italian, Dago, Greek, and Sicilian descent, wanted to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and became a carpenter. He continued as a road manager for the Buckinghams. He was an avid painter and was an excellent chef. He loved to feed everyone. He was a hard-core Budweiser, Chicago Cubs and Bears fan.
Being the wonderful and giving man he was, he chose to donate his body to science. No services will be held. Arrangements have been entrusted to Watson Thomas Funeral Home and Crematory, Galesburg.
