He left the comfort of living the nice life and the tropical weather, his friends and relatives, to move to Wisconsin to witness the birth of every one of his grandchildren. Frank stayed to see all of them grow up, he drove them to school, attended their school programs and sporting events and he became every grandchild’s biggest fan. His hobbies and interests were his family. He is a true legacy of love and will be deeply missed by his family and everyone that knew him.
