Frank was born and raised in Philadelphia, graduated from Olney High and joined the Marines shortly thereafter. He proudly served his country from 1951 to 1954, receiving the United Nations Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Korean Service Medal.

Frank spent most of his life in education receiving his Bachelor’s Degree from West Chester University and two Masters Degrees from Glassboro State University and the University of Pennsylvania. He was a greatly loved and respected teacher/ guidance counselor at many local schools in Brigantine, Atlantic City High, Oakcrest/ Absegami and ultimately retiring from Egg Harbor Township High School in 1995.
Frank resided in Brigantine for 50 years, faithfully served his church, Brigantine Presbyterian as a deacon. He loved walking on the beach and seawall, playing bocce and pool, traveling to Maui and Tuesday morning breakfasts with the “guys.”
