Frank passed away on October 15, 2017 at his home in New Iberia, La. surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren, and many loved ones at his bedside.
Frank was born in Opelousas, La., on February 5, 1943. He attended the Academy of Immaculate Conception (now Opelousas Catholic) where he graduated in 1961. He attended Northwestern State University from 1961-1963 when he became employed with South Central Bell Telephone Company where he worked until his retirement in 1991. He then owned and operated Gator Guide Services, Inc., guiding hunters and fishermen into the Atchafalaya Basin in the Bayou Beniot area until 1994, when he started Dean's Tree Service, which he operated until 1998.
Since 1998, Frank's full time efforts have been devoted to service to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

He was proud to be a dedicated member of the congregation and was always eager to help, and to ask for help and prayer from, his fellow congregation. He was quick to tell anyone who asked that, since 1998, his most rewarding "hobby", his most energetic efforts, and his greatest world rewards were his efforts to assist when called upon by his minister or fellow church members.
