Frank learned to play the accordion at a young age, and played professionally during and after college. He took acting classes in high school and even played some lead parts. Frank worked in advertising with a few radio stations in Delaware and Cincinnati. He went on to become the Regional Advertising Manager for Coors, which moved him to Texas. After retirement, he moved to North Carolina where Frank became involved in art classes. He worked with mediums including colored pencils and water colors. His best talent was in stained glass.
