They quickly started a family having three girls Angela, Michelle, and Stacy. He began a long career with the City of Dallas in May of 1969 retiring from there in 1990.

    Iā€™m a member of the MN side of the family. I had a business trip to Dallas in 1997 and Tiny and Frank had me over for an amazing Italian dinner and red wine. They were such amazing hosts and it made for a fantastic evening that Iā€™ll never forget. I imagine them together hosting a similar dinner party right now! Love both of them!
