Later in life he received his Master of Arts in Education Administration from Michigan State University. Frank spent the majority of his career as the assistant principal at Muskegon High School.

Frank remained a diehard Muskegon Big Reds and Spartan athletics supporter his entire life, as well as a loyal Detroit sports teams’ fan. He took great pride in attending his grandkids and nieces and nephews sporting events. Frank enjoyed golfing but his true love was fishing. He enjoyed all types of fishing, big lake, small lake, ocean, and rivers. He was known to travel around Michigan visiting many of the local lakes, winter or summer, in search of the best fishing, often searching for perch. He not only loved to fish, but he also loved to host large fish fry’s for his family and friends to share the spoils of his catch. On August 3, 1968, Frank married the love of his life, Judith K. Reyes, and they enjoyed nearly 57 years of marriage.
