Frank grew up in Glens Falls, graduating high school in 1960. He married Patricia Ann (Waite) LaMoy on April 8, 1960. Together they raised four children who he adored.
In his younger years, Frank piloted aircrafts at Gorham Municipal Airport in New Hampshire. He was a skilled craftsman, building several houses in the Kingsbury area with his close friend, Joseph Trackey. Frank and his step-father, Charles Clark constructed large industrial boilers all around the New England area, including the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant in Vernon, VT. Frank worked at and retired from Encore after 25 years as an accomplished pipe fitter.
Camping, fishing, boating and hunting are some of Frank’s many hobbies. He was a proud member of The Owls Hunting Club in North Hudson. The friendships Frank made, he held dear to his heart. His love of fishing was passed on to his children and grandchildren.
