In 2005, Frank reconnected with his high school sweetheart, Connie (Richards) Shipley, and in 2014 they married at Bella Beach, Oregon with his brother, Ken, officiating and many other family members in attendance to celebrate their love and happiness.   Frank and Connie enjoyed their happy years together at their Omaha home, along with their sweet dog, Zoey.
