Frank’s mother Janie married Arthur Walls, Jr in April 1967. Frank and his brothers were adopted by Arthur on September 13, 1971 and became the Walls boys. He attended school at Empire where he excelled in football and basketball. It was here he developed a passion and extremely competitive nature in sports, a trait he carried with him throughout his life. Frank loved the outdoors and could often be found riding his Harley. He was also a talented musician and singer and always had his guitar close by. Frank made his home in Morrison, OK where he served on the city council and coached multiple little league teams. Frank was a proud and loving father to his children and spoke of them with pride. In later years his favorite title became Grandpa. His love for his grandchildren was immense and he dearly loved the time spent with them.
