During World War II, Frank honorably served in the Merchant Marines and the United States Army. He was a proud member of VFW Post 764 in McMurray and the American Legion Post 760 in Bethel Park.

He is survived by his children, Patricia Coles (Tom), James Suska (Alice), Mark Suska (Judy), and Karen Prologo (Rocco). Frank was a proud grandfather to nine grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, and he is also survived by several nieces and nephews.

An avid outdoorsman, Frank cherished the 53 years he spent at his camp, enjoying hunting, fishing, and gardening.
