He served a year and a half and then enlisted in the Air Force. He served in the 117th Bombardment Squadron until 1951. He was discharged from the Air Force with a rank of Sargent. Frank was employed by Boeing in Ridley Park, PA. In April of 2010 he celebrated 50 years of service to Boeing. He was proud of his work on the Chinook Helicopter, he worked on the Chinook through many of the updates of the craft. Anyone who knew Frank knows that he was a company man. He never liked to fly in anything that was not Boeing made and referred to those planes as Brand X. Had Frank not been forced into retirement in his 80's, he would no doubt still have been making the trek to work every day. When not working Frank loved to hunt. He was a Life Member of the NRA. His yearly trek to Pennsylvania for deer season was as much a Thanksgiving tradition to him as the turkey dinner. When not hunting he loved to watch the Phillies and explain the game to you, and also why Pete Rose should NEVER be allowed in the Hall of Fame. Frank was a history buff, he loved going to the library every week to pick up a different book. While employed by Boeing, Frank participated in the blood drives they held and continued donating blood as often as he could donate. He has commendations from the Red Cross thanking him for the more than 10 gallons of blood donated.
