He retired in 1990. An avid sportsman, Franks early career included playing with the St. Vital Bulldogs Football Club (a sport that would always remain closest to his heart). He was a proficient swimmer and scuba diving instructor and minor softball coach. Frank also enjoyed camping and fishing. Frank loved life and lived it to the fullest. Throughout his long illness he was always optimistic and cheerful. He will be sadly missed not only by his family but by his many friends and associates.
