Frank retired from the Weaver Fertilizer Co., after 32 years, where he was Vice President of Manufacturing. He was a founding director of the Bank of Tidewater and enjoyed serving on the Board of Directors for 17 years. An avid goose and duck hunter, golfer and fisherman, he was one of the hosts of the Blue Pete Haven Hunters' Feast for over 42 years, which raised donations for the Hope Haven Childrens' Home and Union Mission. His family wants to express sincere gratitude and thanks for the support of his closest and dear friends, and the tender care given by Ericka Fritz and Melody Goode. Due to the grave health risk at this time, a private graveside service will be held and a Celebration of Life will be scheduled for a later time.
