His greatest joy was being a grandfather. But he also loved his garden, fishing, and conversations held in his basement with those who dropped by for a haircut. He was a gifted woodworker and could repair most anything but especially those things made of wood. To know Frank was to love him. He will be deeply missed by family and friends. Visitation and rosary will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 30, with Rosary at 7 p.m. at McGilley Funeral Home, 20 W. Linwood, Kansas City.
