Frank loved to hunt and hike. He enjoyed all activities that took him outdoors. He enjoyed NASCAR, and was a security guard at Lime Rock Park race track. 

In his spare time, he was a caretaker for Petronella Manacini, who viewed him more as a son than an employee. 

Frank was an amazing uncle and a loyal friend. He was a brother that can never be replaced, a simple man that lived an amazing life that meant so much to many.

He leaves behind his sister, Lois Russin and her husband, Jim; his mother, Lois Frost; a nephew, Michael Gawel and Megan, Jameason Russin; two nieces, Molly DiGiovanii and Mike, Abby Maxwell and her husband, CJ. He so enjoyed his sister’s five grandchildren and Kathy Stewart, his companion.
