Frank was born in Bayonne, NJ to Mary Selecki O’Leary and Timothy O’Leary on April 21, 1948. Growing up in Bayonne, he was surrounded by family and friends in a supportive community. At a young age, Frank began working for what was then Smith Barney and is now Citigroup and spent over 40 years in investment banking. Even after retirement, Frank spent much of his day researching the stock market and advising family and friends. Frank loved the beach, his boat and Atlantic City. Together, Bobbi and Frank created a blended family that was the focal point of their lives. Holidays and life events were shared and spent together, creating enduring bonds and special memories.

Frank enjoyed living in the Four Seasons development. He and Bobbi would often be found at the Four Seasons club house, partaking in one of many events held and organized by members of their thriving community.
