The two dated, fell in love, and were united in marriage on September 26, 1959, in Mt. Morris at the home of Pastor Tate. In 1955, Frank began his career at General Motors as a crane operator, working alongside his father, who was his mentor early in his career. Frank retired from General Motors in 1989, leaving time to do what he loved, working in his yard and vehicles. Frank took great pride in his cars and would drive his cars to Back to the Bricks.
