Frank moved to Las Vegas in 1962. He was a deputy sheriff for many years for the County Sheriff Department. Then he transferred to the Business License Division where he was a senior agent for many more years before retiring. Frank met the love of his life, Emma when he was stationed at the Ft.

He had many hobbies such as working in the yard and planting beautiful flowers, but most of all, spending time with family and friends was his favorite.
