He then went on to Eastern Illinois University where he began his career with the radio broadcasting industry. He was the key on-air personality for WEIC and was instrumental in expanding WEIC to an off campus location. While at EIU, he earned his Bachelor’s in Communication. He then continued his career path by becoming a prominent D.J. in Florida and later by starting his own radio advertising company, Ad Air Radio. He sold advertising for many well-known programs, including Laura Ingram. Frank was a person of faith, studied the Bible, and was prolific with scripture. Outside of work, baseball was his passion. He was an avid fan of Major League Baseball; he followed the Baltimore Orioles and was a fan of both the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals. He was thrilled to attend Peoria Chiefs games with his family and would even stop along the roadside to catch a few innings of a Little League game if he happened upon one. Frank was a man whose kindness, generosity, and work ethic will not soon be forgotten. The family has been overwhelmed with stories exemplifying these characteristics and would like to express their sincere gratitude to all who have reach out to them.
