He worked road construction and for Badger Breeders in Oconto before moving his family to Racine in 1964 where he started working at Bucyrus Erie. After Frank retired, due to medical disability, he used his time for his numerous hobbies, including helping others, woodworking, gardening, making things, fishing, hosting fish boils, hunting, and cooking awesome, very unique meals as well as enjoy watching Wisconsin sports teams.
