He always wanted to make people laugh. He cherished his family and friends so much. People just loved to be around him. You would never see Frank without his sunglasses, even in the dark. Frank had many hobbies including: Working on his vehicles, tending to his yard, cooking, collecting antiques, and making his unique bottle lamps. He was most known for singing and playing his guitar. He never turned down the opportunity to sing for anyone that asked, especially his wife who was his biggest fan. The family would like to extend our gratitude to his mailman and friend Joel Juarez, neighbor Lydia Castillo and John Barrera, his great niece Priscilla Aragon, his niece Marina Chavez Mahan, friend Raymond, good friend Maria, and many others who continuously looked after him when his wife and son passed away. Thank you. Frank’s tribute was written in his honor by his family.
