He eventually managed his own desk top publishing, advertising and public relations company, "Franklin Communications". Throughout his life, Frank enjoyed nature and outdoor sports. He was also an inveterate walker, and a fine photographer. He played the trumpet when he was young and his love of music never left him.

A private burial and service have taken place. Our gratitude to the staff of the Misericordia Health Centre, Cornish 2 for their loving care and compassion.
