Frank was born on October 28th, 1938, to Frank and Eleanor (Knudsen) Barnes in Spokane WA.

Through the years he played on multiple baseball teams and eventually signed with the Cincinnati Reds, playing with the Seattle Rainiers.
In 1959 he married Diane (Carmen Diane) O'Neil and they were blessed with three children; Steve, Tony, and Katie. Frank worked for the JCPenney Company in various management positions in Seattle, WA, Wolf Point, MT, and Havre, MT. Through the years he coached both Little League and Babe Ruth baseball, started a soccer league for boys and girls in Port Orchard, WA, and did volunteer work for the Seattle World's Fair and United Way.
