Papa Frank was a music aficionado and self taught trumpet player. An avid reader who loved his books, newspapers, documentaries and always kept up on current events. He was a huge fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco 49ers and of tennis (especially Venus and Serena Williams).

He loved to travel and was known for driving around in his '56 Chevy Nomad with the custom “SEDENO” license plate. He was always helping out anyone having roadside car troubles.

Papa Frank unfortunately passed away in 2020 before learning of our discovery. He now rests near his daughter, our Mother Elisabeth, his son Franky and his Father Aristeo at Santa Clara Cemetery in Oxnard, California.
