He was a gas plant district superintendent at the time of his retirement from Sunoco. After Frank retired, they moved back to Maysville for several years before moving to Ponca City to be near their daughter and her family. Frank loved his dogs and he spoiled them all rotten by taking them for daily rides in the pickup and feeding them whatever they wanted. His greatest joy was spending time with his family and cooking for them. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and watching sports, whether it was his nephews playing or just a good game on television. Frank was well known for playing his guitar and singing you a tune whether it was in his home or at church, he loved music. He could also be quit a teaser, but that only meant he loved you and he would give you a nick name if you hung around for very long. He was a great cook, so if you ever went to his house, he would always try to feed you. Frank was a member of the Shady Grove Baptist Church. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. His survivors include his daughter, Linda Cain and husband Terry of Tonkawa.
