He and his wife spent their retirement years traveling intensively with their RV to Canada, Alaska, Mexico and all of America where they met many dear and wonderful friends. Their RV club, the Kountry Lone Stars, became their second family where they would enjoy week-end outings throughout Texas and the U.S. Frank enjoyed the Elkins Lake community in Huntsville, where he and his wife became actively involved in social and community affairs. They were members of the St. Thomas Catholic Church and participated in many clubs and functions where they cherished the many friend they met along the way.
