Frank was born February 13, 1922 in St. John, ND to John and Mary (Richard) Langan. He was raised and educated in the area before joining the United States Army. He served his country proudly during World War II, earning two purple hearts and numerous other metals. He was a master woodworker and crafted many different items for his family that they will always cherish. If Frank was ever missing, the best place to look would be in the garage.
