Frank and Randy met in 1948 at Oxford Orphanage where they were raised and were married in 1958. They originally made their home in Norfolk, VA but later moved to Fayetteville, NC and raised a family with one son and two daughters.

Frank started his professional career as a meat cutter (butcher) for several grocery stores in VA and NC. This was a skill he acquired while at the orphanage. He would later transition to a career as a USDA meat inspector from which he retired in 2000. In retirement he would start up several small businesses such as lawn care, roofing and a small restaurant in Rockfish, NC called Billy’s Kitchen. He always said “I might wear out but I will never rust out”.

He achieved the 33 degree of masonry and received the P H Hanks Award. He took great pride in traveling to other shrine clubs to talk about and raise money for Oxford Orphanage now know as The Masonic Children’s Home of Oxford. He also took it upon himself to make sure that area athletes who were selected to the annual Shrine Bowl received Shrine Bowl rings.
