Frank was a proud Home Depot associate for 22 years. Prior to his cancer diagnosis he was a department supervisor running multiple departments. He was a graduate of St. Mary’s University where he was a member of the Sigma Beta Chi Fraternity. He was a participating alumnus and remained connected with his fraternity brothers. He was a proud graduate of Central Catholic High School, Class of 1979. He was actively involved in the extracurricular activities of his class, participating annually in Fiesta San Antonio and other fundraising events.
Our father will be fondly remembered for his hard work, kindness and deep love for his family. He was strong, diligent and always playful. He enjoyed fishing at the coast in his free time, when he wasn’t cheering on the Cowboys. As a devoted Catholic, he lived by faith, instilling his strong faith in his children.
His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Frank is in the best of hands now; he is with the Lord. God bless him. Until we meet again.
