Frank was a Christian, family man, Vietnam Veteran and Demon Deacon. Frank.  Daddy.  Grandpa. Pop. Uncle Frank.  Peeroonie.  Daddy Frank.  Mr Frank.  Coach.

No matter what he was called, he had a way of connecting with adults and children alike.  He was a man of few words who would listen, and when he spoke to someone, his words were meaningful.  He truly loved and wanted to help everyone he met, and he meant so many different things to so many different people.  To his wife, he was a true and loving husband who did everything in his power to make her happy.  To his mother, he was considerate caregiver who would sit and talk with her for hours.  To his children, he was a quiet, loving force always ready listen and help them with their problems.  To his grandchildren, he was a tolerant and patient grandfather who would give in to their every whim.  To his nieces and nephews, he was approachable and always ready to play a board game or watch a ballgame.  To his players he was an intense coach who taught sportsmanship and respect for the game.

The family will not hold a public memorial service.  In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Frank can be made to the Deacon Club of Wake Forest University, 499 Deacon Boulevard, Winston-Salem, NC 27105.  https://deaconclub.com/pages/home-page-1
