Frank had a deep love for sports that carried throughout his life. After retirement, he spent his time playing softball with the Bill Breck Dodge 60+ League and the Tucson Cowboys. Whether on the field or in the stands, “Tata Frank” was always present—supporting and cheering on his grandchildren at their sporting events.

He was also a devoted University of Arizona fan and proudly held season tickets to Arizona football for over 40 years. He cherished every moment spent tailgating, enjoying a cold Miller Lite, Church’s Chicken and sharing laughter and memories with family and friends.
