Frank loved Sheryl and all of his family; they lived in Havasu for 22 years and traveled to their second home in Idaho for several years. Frank loved nature's beauty and always wanted to be surrounded by water. He was an avid boater for most of his life teaching his girls and grandkids to water-ski and tube. Frank loved to buy and sell, even for family members and built several homes in his life. He enjoyed sitting on his deck and taking in the lake view, especially at sunset. He loved food, from homemade egg McMuffins to chicken enchiladas and oatmeal cookies. A night would not be complete without his vanilla Blue Bunny ice cream. His loved ones living locally and as far away as Texas, Florida, Utah, Oregon and California were with him during some of his last days.
