Frank joined Heinz in 1946 and retired in 1983. He had a tremendous aptitude for clarity when it came to financial matters Anthony J.F. O'Reilly, Chairman and President of Heinz, told the Post-Gazette in 1994.
He "personified the characteristics that I came to appreciate in Pittsburgh in that extraordinary decade of the '70s when we won four Super Bowls as much by defense as offense…Frank was part of the (Heinz) Pittsburgh financial defense."
