He attended Blessed Sacrament Grade School and Central Catholic High School in Grand Island. A skilled drywaller and framer he worked for various companies around the state.
Frank loved spending time on his boat “The Pick 5” fishing. Early in life he enjoyed dirt bikes. In 1999 he married Jenifer Salzman. They had a wonderful country sunrise wedding.

He played on many baseball/softball teams in the Lincoln area. He took his brother to a College World Series game in Omaha and they talked about it for years.

Hey Frank
I won’t forget the times we went fishing on your boat at the Twin Lakes and back waters of Pawnee,unfortunately we always got skunked. Also remembered fishing with the nephews and grandpa Gary at Klein’s pond near Waverly on special holidays. You were a good Uncle to my son Julius, and spent the most time with him than any other Uncle he had. I’m sorry you couldn’t stick around with us longer but you knew where you should be better than anyone. ILY and RIP and find Christopher, Super Gary, Jack and Chelsea boogers and baby Zachariah to dance with in presence of Jesus!
