He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Joe Targac, Sr. and Hulda Quast Targac, one son, Kenneth Allen Targac and two brothers, Phillip Alvin Targac and Edward Henry Targac.

Frank spent his youth on a share cropping farm in Dewitt County learning at an early age how to work for survival. He completed a tenth grade education in a rural school. Frank later attended San Antonio College and received his Associate Degree in Business. In early adulthood, he worked as a gravel truck driver, in a cotton gin, and as a S.W. Associated Telephone Co. lineman. He retired from Kelly Air Force Base in 1973 after 33 years of dedicated service as Store Manager over 600 personnel, mostly women during the war years.

He was appointed by Aldersgate Methodist Church in 1978 to manage Comanche Nutrition Center at Comanche Park, a service project benefiting Senior Citizens. A noon meal was served 5 days a week to 200 to 300 seniors, who enjoyed the fellowship and activities. He dedicated 23 years to this program.
