After the army, he studied aeronautical engineering while working a full-time job, and in 1962 received a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from San Diego University. For the bulk of his professional career, he worked for the Veterans Administration as an IT supervisor, both in Los Angeles and at the Presidio in San Francisco. In 1991, at age 62, he retired and returned to live on Maui. Frank spent the last couple of years going between Maui and Ladera Ranch in California to spend more time with his son Paul and daughter-in-law Elizabeth, and reconnecting with extended family.
In 1959, Frank married Helen Osako. They had one son, Paul, and lived in Southern California until Helen’s passing in 1982. Frank returned to Maui for a short visit and reconnected with Leina’ala (Akiu) Cockett, whom he had known in high school.

After retiring to Maui, Frank kept busy running his own yard service company (Hana Hana), working as the crossing guard at his alma mater, St. Anthony, and enjoying time with friends and family. Many remember him reading in his truck with a flashlight before his morning cross guard duty! Frank loved fishing and so looked forward to his annual trips to California to reunite with his son and close friends to revisit their favorite fishing spots. He loved to read, watch old black and white samurai movies and travel, far and wide, by plane or car, he was always up for an adventure.
