He graduated from Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, and attended California State University, Northridge. He is survived by his loving wife Vivian of 34 years, son Ryan, sister Kathleen Conway and granddoggie Leila. Frank began his 29-year employment with Tri-West LTD as a rep in Los Angeles. He became the V.P. of Regional Sales while opening the Hawaii branch in 1991; in 1997 he made his home in Arizona as he opened the branch there as the Southwest V.P. of Regional Sales. His character, loyalty and positive guidance prompted his employees to surprise him at the office with #TeamFrank t-shirts, worn in support of his battle with cancer. He loved fishing, sports and spending time with his family in Show Low. Frank was known for his casual style, witty sense of humor, and optimistic viewpoint while caring for those around him. Favorite memories of Frank include coaching Ryan’s Little League teams, cheering on his beloved Cardinals, Coyotes, Suns and Sun Devils, attending numerous bowl games, and supporting Ryan’s Jr. Golf and ASU college tournaments.
