He later joined the team of Martin Marietta in Denver, Colorado and retired from Lockheed Martin at Kennedy Space Center after 42 years of service.

He was a life-long Denver Broncos Fan and enjoyed being a season ticket holder as well as collecting

Denver Broncos memorabilia.

Frank was an exceptional man who Loved God and Loved people. His spiritual gift was clearly‘Service to others” which was evident to the very moment God took him home.

Frank lived his life full of joy and daily exemplified the Fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23.

The void he leaves in the lives of those who loved him will be deeply felt. However, to paraphrase a

quote by Billy Graham, “Frank is now more alive than he has ever been…he has gone into the presence

of God.”
