Frank was an avid golfer and was still golfing at the age of 87. Competitive. Unassuming. Gracious. In his 60 years on the mat, these personal qualities of Frank are reflected in the thousands of wrestlers he coached. Wrestling was his passion.

He is a member of the 300 Victory Club, a member of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame, the New England Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame and in 2007 he was inducted into the Massachusetts Chapter of The National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Two of his customers included Concord Academy and The Orchard House. Frank will be remembered as a mentor, teacher and coach that made an impact on so many lives throughout his life. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
