Among the many chapters of his life, one of the brightest was when Frank and his brother E.C stood as co-recipients of the prestigious Skowhegan Fair Agricultural Person of the Year award. Frank was also past President of the Ayrshire Breeders Association and a 50+ year member of the Benton Grange. Frank possessed an amazing sense of humor, he loved talking about politics, farming, sports, and his grandchildren, as well as, harassing salesman with "the card". Frank was a wonderful friend to many, whether you knew him for 5 minutes or 50 years, he had a joke and life advice to share.
