Frank was a devoted Catholic, husband, father, grandfather, and brother. He had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. Spending time with his family far and near was the most important thing to him. He had a vibrant personality and a great love for his Mexican culture from food, dance, art, and music. Anyone that knew him knew he was sure to find treasures at yard sales and flea markets to add to his remarkable antique collection. During the warm months he took pride in maintaining an immaculate yard boasting beautiful flowers and plants. Frank retired from Arcelor-Mittal Steel Company (Inland Steel Co.) in 2003.
