After his retirement he worked at Key Logo in Hartford as a delivery driver. On May 13, 1972 Frank married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life Wendy S. Koepsell. They raised four beautiful children and are blessed with 12 wonderful grandchildren. He was a wonderful father to the kids as they grew up. Always coaching all their sporting events and never missing any activities or sporting events they were involved in. Then the grandchildren came and he so enjoyed spending time with them and going to as many activities that he possibly could. He was always there to babysit, read a book, do homework or pitch a few baseballs. He also loved to mentor other kids along with his own in all things sports. He coached little league baseball and softball and volunteered umpiring for many years in the Allenton youth softball program. Frank also was a avid Milwaukee Brewer fan and followed them faithfully.
