Frank loved farming. His farming operation included grain and livestock. He enjoyed working in the fields and his machine shop. You could always find him building something, repairing farm equipment, or just tinkering with stuff. Frank was always there to help a neighbor or others in need. He was soft spoken, kind, liked to gently tease or joke with a little smile on his face. Frank enjoyed watching Hockey Night in Canada, stampede wrestling, old western movies and shows, listening to old time country music and could dance a polka making any polka musician proud.  He liked to play cards and have coffee visits with farm neighbors. Prayer was important to Frank. He embraced holiday and Sunday church services and took every opportunity to attend.
