Frank was born in Belvedere, IL on Oct. 10, 1930 and grew up in Cherry Valley, IL. Upon graduation from Northwestern University ( with honors) he joined the accounting firm of Arthur Andersen & Co. where he spent his entire career (except for a two-year term in the Army). During his tenure at AA & Co., he was admitted to partnership and played a number of extremely important leadership roles including Chairman of the AICPA Professional Ethics Executive Committee. Following retirement Frank was elected a Trustee for the Village of Wilmette. He also served on the Board of the Presbyterian Homes for 35 years and was active in the New Trier Republican party.

Our dad always said when he died he did not want people to be sad; he wanted people to celebrate him and his life. He especially loved the 'splendid' times with family and friends at the lake, on holidays, and on family vacations. We are blessed to have shared in his devotion to his 'sweetheart', our mother, Carlyn. We are grateful for all we learned from him and fortunate to have witnessed all the lives he touched with his friendship and generosity.

Frank with diagnosed with Parkinson's disease years ago. It's progression made it more and more difficult for him to care for Carlyn and eventually let to residing in a skilled care facility. I hope your contribution to Parkinson's research will eventually lead to a cure and end the suffering of those afflicted with this illness.

On behalf of Carlyn, Lori and Lisa Whitehand, thank you for your donation.
