Mr. Frank was born on April 24, 1928 in Cambridge, MA. Before moving to Georgia, he was a resident of Auburn, NY from 1938 to 1979. By trade he was a building contractor. He also spent years as a line foreman at General Electric in Auburn, and later as the superintendent for building and grounds at Auburn Steel Co. Upon moving to Georgia he was a partner in the JG Carwash in Gainesville. Mr. Frank had a lifelong passion for horses and enjoyed riding and training into his late 70's. Post-retirement he developed an avid interest in woodcarving, painting and teaching others. Several of his carvings won awards. His greatest source of pride was his children and their families. He loved life. He lived it to his fullest capacity and was an inspiration in countless ways. A gifted storyteller, he captured our imaginations. He entertained and informed us with vivid stories based on personal experience. An informal Celebration of Life will take place at his home, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at 6506 Autumn Crest Lane, Hoschton, GA, on Saturday, September 8th. Friends are invited to drop by to share food, hugs and stories. Much of Mr. Frank's artwork will be on display.
