Frank attended Redemptorist High School and the University of Southwestern Louisiana where he not only played football, but developed many lifelong friendships that he held so close to his heart.

He was the co-owner/operator of Liuzza’s Restaurant & Bar along with his brother. He so enjoyed running the business with his wife, son and grandsons. It was here at the neighborhood restaurant where Frank found his calling. His jovial and affectionate personality became the hallmark of the spirit of Liuzza’s. Frank touched the lives of so many people: neighborhood friends, longtime patrons, first timers, many loyal employees, and of course, members of the Side Door Club. One thing is certain, each of them touched his life profoundly.
