Frank thoroughly enjoyed crossword puzzles. He enjoyed learning, often taking online courses or home study courses, usually about electronics and computers. He also liked fishing, whether it was NY Harbor, Sandy Hook, LI Sound or the Hudson from his dock, he enjoyed throwing a line in in hopes of a sporting catch.

Frank was a great dad, great brother, great uncle and great friend. He will be sorely missed.
