He was a policeman at Blackwell, OK and Warr Acres; then a Probation and Parole officer for the State of OK.

Frank was a wonderful father and husband. He also helped families and marriages in crisis with love and Biblical principles. He was a kind-hearted, giving person who cared about the hurting and down-trodden.

Frank spent the last three months of his life in medical facilities in physical and mental pain. In spite of this, he managed to make others laugh or smile with his unique sense of humor. He was greatly helped by Tammy Newport and Joyce Harpole, his special caregivers.  Tammy spent many weeks going the extra mile to make sure Frank's life was happier and more comfortable.
