Frank was born on July 26, 1948 to Frank and Marie Dotolo in Irvington. Frank attended Immaculate Conception School in Irvington and was a 1966 graduate of Archbishop Stepinac High School. 

He attended Westchester Community College and received training as a commercial artist. His career was interrupted when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served a tour of duty in Vietnam as a gunner’s mate on a Swift Boat and was subsequently awarded a Purple Heart.
