Frank worked for the National Provincial Bank​ which, was later to become NatWest, and indeed it was his career that brought him to South Wales. It was his father-in-law William May, a Founder and Past Master of Morganwg Lodge No 5084 who introduced him to Freemasonry. William May was better known as Police Superintendent May, the divisional commander responsible for the Bridgend area at the time of the Island Farm POW camp escape in March 1945.

Initiated in May 1955, Frank became Secretary ​of Morganwg Lodge ​in January 1959 whilst still a Master Mason. He served in that capacity until 1965 when, presumably it was time to progress to the chair of KS, which he did in 1968. After the Chair and his year as IPM, Frank was elected Treasurer in 1970 and held that office for precisely a quarter of a century! In 2002 he compiled the history of Morganwg Lodge.  ​Frank was such a faithful and hard-working servant of ​Morganwg that I personally doubt that his record of service to the Lodge will ever be surpassed.  ​ As recently as a couple of years ago, he was still learning and delivering fresh pieces of ritual - his most recent being the Charity Charge in the First Degree, which he did magnificently.​

The funeral will take place at St John the Baptist Church, Sully, where Frank was a regular worshipper​, at noon on Monday 3rd April 2017. Cremation will follow at ​the Vale of Glamorgan Crematorium at 1pm. Mourners will be welcome at the subsequent wake, details of which will be provided at the services.
