Frank spent his career working in the specialty paper industry and retired as a Vice President of Marketing and Sales.
Francis had a passion for the outdoors, and greatly enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was a skilled woodworker, an avid reader, and loved playing his guitar. He was very generous with his time and spent many years coaching local youth hockey leagues. Frank also served as a board member of the Fitchburg Sportsmen’s Club.
