Domiciled in Portlaoise for most of his adult life, Frank hurled for both St. Brigid's and Westmeath. After his playing career ended, he followed the Lake County through thick and thin, and was a proud man when his native county relieved Laois of their Leinster senior football title a decade ago.

Frank, who once had his own band 'Frankie and the Blue Boys', was a member of Portlaoise GAA club and a steward at O'Moore Park. He was a brother-in-law of former Westmeath dual star Pat Bradley.
