He retired from Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative after 36 years.
Frank enjoyed flea markets, auctions, and in addition to agitating his wife, playing pool, camping, Packers, Brewers, napping, bowling, hunting, fishing, and riding in the car. At age 77, he still had to take laps through town.
Frank was a member of the Friendship volunteer fire department, manager for Friendship Liquor Old Timers Softball team, snowmobile safety instructor, Moundview Snowmobile Club, Pathfinders Snowmobile Club in Grand Marsh, and the Dellwood Moundview Snowmobile Club. He was past president of the Wisconsin Snowmobile Association. Frank was also a member of the Roche-a-Cri Lions Club, Quincy Lodge, Eastern Star, Zor Shriners, and the Antique Farmers Club.
Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Harold & Mary.
