Frank had a long successful career employed by J. A. Jones Construction Company and Fluor Government Group with top secret clearance that afforded him the opportunity to work in countries all over the world.  He retired to his home in Surry in 2009 due to declining health and lived there until he went to reside at Magnolia Manor in Smithfield in April of 2019, where he lived until his death.
