Frank worked for nearly 40 years in the RV Industry and retired from Dutchmen RV Plant 802 in 2024. Frank was exceptionally talented and a very handy man. Known for his unwavering work ethic and endurance, he was often referred to as “Frank the Tank” as he continued to work as long as he could while battling cancer and enduring treatments.

Frank loved to spend time with his family and enjoyed passing on his skills to his children and grandchildren. He was very knowledgeable on a vast number of subjects. Before there was Google, there was Frank. He loved repairing, remodeling, gardening, collecting old toys, and old cars in real life. Frank was always finding ways to make things better and left the world a better place.
