The extensive two-year effort resulted in the successful development of the Bridgewater Commons Mall. After that effort Frank served as a Township Councilman including doing a term as Council President. While on the Council Frank served a term on the Planning Board and other sub committees.

Joan and Frank moved from Bridgewater to Tewksbury Township, NJ where they built their dream home and enjoyed bringing together their children, grandchildren, and relatives for celebrations, holidays, and summer pastimes.

Six Years ago, they decided it was time to retire. They built their new home on Mantoloking property they had purchased about 18 years earlier. Five years ago, they made the transition to full-time residency in Mantoloking. They along with their Sheep-a -doodle (Cody) have embraced coastal living and engaged in activities like biking, fishing, kayaking, and beach walks while fostering new friendships with fellow residents.
