He enjoyed his retirement along with his wife Jennie by traveling throughout the U.S., spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, and getting together regularly with his brother and sister-in laws.

Besides his wife of 62 years, Frank is survived by his sons, James and his wife, Maria (Trimarco), Luskay of Holliston, Mass. and Larry Luskay of Beaverton, Ore.; and grandchildren Jameson and Gillian Luskay of Holliston, Mass.
