Frank was born February 19, 1942, in Cameron, the son of Joe and Christine Vaculin Hromcik. After serving in the U.S. Air Force, he met his future wife, Frances Jeske at a dance at the SPJST Hall in Buckholts on Nov. 11, 1966, and they were married Aug. 31, 1968.  After completing his service in the Air Force, he worked for General Dynamics Aviation manufacturing aircraft for the defense department.

Frank enjoyed gatherings of all sorts.  He loved playing dominos, polka dancing, and fixing up his classic Ford pickup truck.  He enjoyed telling stories and jokes remembering good times and adventures along his life’s path.  His family will remember him most for his selflessness, his devotion to his wife, and his constant desire to make people around him feel happy.
