He was preceded in death by his parents Frank J. Musso and Angela Sinopoli Musso as well as two infant brothers. After graduating with a BA from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, Frank married Margaret on February 3, 1962. The next year in September, Frank entered the United States Air Force Officer Training School and graduated as a second lieutenant. Along with other places, this stationed the couple in Canada. While living there, they were blessed with their daughter and a year later their son. After five years, he ended his service in August of 1968 ranked as a captain, and the family returned to their roots in Franklin, LA. There Frank ran the family shoe repair business, worked at J&L Engineering, and pursued teaching mainly as a science teacher at various schools in the area. He prayed every morning throughout his life that he had said the words each of his students needed to hear to help them in their future. He enjoyed building model airplanes, boats, and doll houses. He delighted in the occasional relaxing fishing trip with his kids and grandkids. After retirement, Frank enjoyed working part-time at Mark's Air Boats for 18 years. He especially found pleasure in being a licensed ham radio operator. With the call sign WA5QHV, he was able to share with new friends near and far, the sarcasm, whit, and jokes he was known for that kept all his loved ones laughing and smiling. Most important in his life were his Catholic faith and the love of his family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. John Elementary Library.
