He was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was also a proud member of the American Legion and enjoyed dedicating his time to honor fellow veterans.

Frank served in the United States Air Force during the Korean War, where he was stationed at Tooele when he found the love of his life, Lola LaDawn Ritter; they married on December 27th, 1954, in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Following his service, he settled in Salt Lake City, where he attended school and received his Associate Degree in Electronics; during this time, he enjoyed working at Utah Pickle.
