Preceeded in death by his wife, Blanche. Father to John. Survived by wife, Marilyn.

Frank was a career Navy man, serving his country for two decades and retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer, to complete his working life in civil service. Frank barely missed the destruction of Pearl Harbor, transferring off the USS West Virginia three months before the attack.

His future wife, Blanche, born and raised in Hawaii, was an eyewitness to the event. Frank and Blanche were married until her death in 1995.

Shortly after the passing of his first wife, he left the Riverside area, relocating finally to Henderson NV. Frank remarried in 2005, his wife, Marilyn, survives him.

Marilyn & Frank were together for 11 years. She cared for him during his golden years, and his declining health due to Parkinson's disease.


Don't think of him as gone away, his journey's just begun. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched. For nothing loved is ever lost, and he was loved so much. (E. Brenneman)
