Frank was well like at work and by the people in his neighborhood. He had many
friends and could always be counted on to lend a helping hand to anyone who
asked. Frank did not go out to socialize. He went to work, came home and
basically kept to himself.
He had been very ill as a child and had lost a lung to tuberculosis. He also
had polio which shortened one leg considerably.
Frank was not an outwardly religious man and did not attend church, but
believed in God. Frank retained his independent nature even in his later
years, depending entirely on himself for everthing, but always offering a
helping hand to anyone in need.
