Frank was born in Hancock, WI, on February 6, 1939, to Frank Sr. and Norma (Brown) Holmes. Upon graduating from high school, he served in the Army for three years. Frank then became a skilled worker in the building trades, specializing in terrazzo floors. He did this in the Milwaukee area for six years, before moving north where he worked for Arvin Meritor, Rockwell, and Speed Queen. After retirement he enjoyed going to Florida in the winter where he loved walking on the beach. During the summer you would see him walking outside for miles. His family was most important to him.
