In 1978 Frank and Laraine planted their roots in Katy, Texas where he was employed for Daniel Industries, Ken Wind Company and later retired from Miller Exxon.
Frank loved his wife and family more than anything. He took great pride in knowing that he served his county. That is where he developed his love for history, especially the WWII area. He loved to travel and to experience new restaurants. Frank also had a huge passion for airplanes and flying.
