In his youth, he attended Shrine of the Little Flower, Archbishop Curley High School in Baltimore, MD and graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Towson University in Towson, MD. Frank spent 32 years of combined service working for the federal government at the United States Postal Service and retired as a director of a division at the Social Security Administration 4 years ago; he received special recognition for his work projects related to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He cherished his family and friendships dearly and enjoyed spending his free time with them. Frank was a kind, generous, and humble man; he always kept his word and was always the person to call when someone needed help and support. He enjoyed playing golf, fishing, watching the Ravens and basketball games, and was a nature and animal lover.

It’s hard to imagine our lives without him here, but we find comfort in the thought of a heavenly reunion one day.
