He worked for many companies throughout his 50 plus year career to name a few: Glace Bay Heavy Water, Stora (Port Hawkesbury), Nova Scotia Power and MacPherson Mechanics. Frank also spent many years in the fishing industry in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. He passed on his love of fishing to his sons.

Frank is also survived by Margaret Ann, Tracey, Wanda (Adrian), John, Grant and Kevin who when chosen as partners of his children became family of his own.
Grampy was very proud and enjoyed sharing his unique sense of humour with his 13 grandchildren, Julia, Janet (Andrew), Jenna Lee, Spencer, Curtis, Caitlin, Courtney, Benjamin, Ryan, Jessica, Adam, Parker and Stephanie. Grampy shared his love of gardening and growing anything green with his great-grandchildren, Emma, Peyton and Caleb. Frank will be sadly missed by his loyal companions, Barney and Mike.
