As stated in his obituary, Frank served with the Berkley Fire Department for 33 years and retired as Battalion Chief in 2007. Like so many of our classmates, Frank distinquished himself in his career and life. I am so impressed that he built his home from the foundation up in New Melle, MO. My sincere sympathy goes to Janice, Frank's wife of 50 years and an RGHS Class of 1970 graduate, and to Frank's family.
