Frankie had worked at Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he developed a strong connection and sense of family with many of the other employees. He thought of them as extended family and he truly loved his job there. As a young man he loved to fish and enjoyed motorcycling. For some 20 years, he owned and operated his own transmission shop.

He was known for bringing joy and laughter to his family and friends. Often times, his humor was without a filter but he would certainly make others laugh. More than anything he was a simple man who loved his family deeply. He also loved his dogs; Harley his always present companion, and Harbie.
