Frank was born on December 10, 1937 in Warren, a son of Frank J. and Mary (Lucas) Roman.

Frank was a 1956 graduate St. Mary’s High School in Warren and then went on to pursue a career in the United States Army.

Besides his work and service to his country, Frank enjoyed fishing and gardening, but above all else, he loved and cherished his 11 grandchildren.
