These simple pleasures brought immense joy to his life.

His presence brought immense joy and happiness to their lives.

He is also survived by his brother Irvin (Rosemary) King and his sister Anita (Mike) Ross. Their bond was unbreakable and filled with love.

Frank is preceded in death by his parents John and Emily King, a brother Warren King, and daughter Melissa Heise Feigel.
