Frank's love of baseball continued throughout his life, always cheering for his hometown team, the Boston Red Sox.  He was a long time Walpole American Legion Baseball Coach, supporting the youth baseball players for 30 years.  In addition to serving as a coach, Frank spent countless hours volunteering with the Walpole Recreation Committee.  Franks's love for sports did not end with baseball, as he was a season ticket holder for the Boston College Eagle's football team and loved following the New England Patriots.  At home, Frank enjoyed relaxing in his living room, tuning into the local game or watching the History Channel.
