Frank attended rural schools for 8 years and graduated from Winner High School with the class of 1965.  A farm accident when he was 11 years old didn't stop him from doing anything he wanted to do.

Frank was very active in the Hamill Community serving 25 years on the Hamill Hall Board and coaching Country Conference Basketball.  He served as a conference chairman for the Tripp County ASC.  Frank was very active in the Rosebud Arrow, Rod and Gun Club where he helped to teach kids to shoot trap.  His love of trap shooting was passed down to his grandsons who were his pride and joy.  He loved being outdoors, hunting, fishing, and trapping with his family.
