An outdoors enthusiast, Frank enjoyed biking and paddle boarding in Little Compton. His love for reading reflected his insatiable desire to grow and develop. He was also an avid traveler, relishing vacations in and out of the United States. Most importantly, he loved spending quality time with his family, especially with his four grandsons whom he cherished.

Frank is survived by his loving wife, Monica, and his children, Jared, Neal, Luke, Jacob, and Karina. He also leaves behind his parents, Francis and Margret Hopton, and his sisters, Julie and Jeannie.
