Born April 2, 1957 in Carbondale, PA, he is the son of Rose Marie Nardi Kubus of Forest City, PA, and the late Frank Kubus.
Frank had been employed for many years as a pool installer at DeRichie Custom Pools and Spas in Carbondale. Frank truly enjoyed the outdoors and cherished the time spent with family and friends around the camp fire or fishing. He was a sun worshiper who enjoyed spending time in the back yard tending to his garden or just relaxing by the pool in his normal summer attire - a pair of shorts. He liked watching college basketball, NASCAR, especially # 24 Jeff Gordon but his true sports passion was the Oakland Raiders.
