He was a Citizen on Patrol for over 15 years with the Pflugerville Police Department. Frank loved dropping in at the PD, training new cadets or just doing whatever they needed him to do. The officers and staff of the Pflugerville Police Department were Frank's “family” to the end. Frank was also a member of the First Baptist Church of Pflugerville where he served as a Deacon.
