His new career was carpentry work with Pete Zerr for many years. Frank enjoyed fishing especially the annual fishing trip to northern Saskatchewan with all of his fishing buddies. He also enjoyed visits with family and friends who were always welcome at his home. He loved to work in his shop building bird houses for which there soon was a big demand. He was an avid gardener, his gardens always produced in abundance and he was happy to share the produce with others. Frank was very proud to be part of the Odessa community and was not shy about promoting Odessa to anyone he met. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
