After his retirement, he  enjoyed spending time at his self-made saw mill. He also enjoyed listening to old country music, watching old western movies, his beloved Red Sox, and building model planes for his grandchildren. Frank also enjoyed a good game of poker.

A private burial will be held at the Lake Road Cemetery in Monson. The family requests that rather than buying flowers or making a donation; do something for yourself… watch an old western movie, a Red Sox game, or listen to some old country music and think of Buz.
