Biography[]
Trip to Paris[]
Frank lived in Ohio with his wife and children. Following his youngest brother Rob's relocation to Paris as part of a job promotion during a summer, Frank's second nephew Rod, who was Rob's older son, stayed with them to finish high school.Template:RefTemplate:Ref Before Christmas, Rob paid for the McCallister family to take a trip to Paris in order to be reunited for the holidays; Frank drove his family and Rod to his younger brother Peter's house in Winnetka to leave for the vacation together.Template:Ref
While preparing to leave, Frank did not let his youngest nephew Kevin watch a movie.Template:Ref
Frank later retrieved pizza from Little Nero's Pizza ordered by the family, but left the responsibility of paying for it to Peter. Later, while eating with the family, he told his son, Fuller that they must have been in bed early as they were leaving at 8:00am, Kevin got into a fight with his oldest brother, Buzz, causing a giant mess in the kitchen, thus prompting Frank to call Kevin a "little jerk".Template:Ref
The next day, after the family overslept due to an electrical outage, Frank rushed along with them to the airport. On their flight, Frank attempted to smuggle glassware, but was caught at the last minute. Later, after it was realized that Kevin was forgotten at home, Frank attempted to comfort his sister-in-law, Kate, by saying that he forgot his reading glasses, to which she, along with Peter and Leslie, all gave him disapproving looks.Template:Ref
Later, at his brother Rob's Paris apartment, Frank found a shrimp appetizer and ignored his other sister-in-law Georgette's statements that the shrimp was going to be served later. He asked Peter if he had gotten anybody to check on Kevin, and Peter responded that no one was home for the holidays. Template:Ref.
Frank and his family stayed with Rob's family in Paris while Peter and his family rushed back to Chicago for Kevin.Template:Ref
Trip to Florida[]
A year later, he drove his family and Rod from Ohio to Winnetka again, this time to tag with the other McCallisters for their trip to Miami, Florida. The night before the flight, he observed his son Fuller drinking a can of Coca-Cola, which he then snatched from him, saying, "Hey, hey, easy on the fluids, pal. The rubber sheets are packed", taking the soda for himself.Template:Ref
Later, as Frank was taking a shower, Kevin entered to get his tie, catching sight of him horribly singing Cool Jerk, and decided to record him secretly. After Frank discovered Kevin, he yelled at him to leave, threatening to slap him for it.Template:Ref
At a Christmas pageant, the McCallister children performed in, Frank laughed at Buzz placing candlesticks behind Kevin's ears during his solo, despite Leslie's efforts to get him to stop laughing.Template:Ref
After Kevin ruined the pageant by hitting Buzz (even though Buzz was the one who started it), the older brother apologized. However, Frank said, "Immature or not, it was pretty gol-darn hilarious." Kevin refused to accept Buzz's apology, knowing that his brother was lying and not sorry, prompting Frank to say, "You better not wreck my trip, you little sourpuss. Your dad's paying good money for it." Kevin then sassed Frank and called him "Mr. Cheapskate", much to his offense.Template:Ref
The next day, upon arrival in Miami, he and Buzz were the only McCallisters to not pass the bag to Kevin because of their argument the previous night and Frank being offended of what his youngest nephew had said to him, before the family discovered that Kevin was nowhere to be found as Kevin had gotten on the wrong plane at O'Hare Airport following a man who resembled his father who was wearing the same coat.Template:Ref
When the family were forced to stay at the Villa de Dolphiné as Kevin had his father's credit card and a large amount of money that Peter brought for the trip to Miami while he was stranded in New York City, New York, Frank remarked "It didn't look this bad on our honeymoon."Template:Ref
Later, the family went to New York City to look for Kevin after the police contacted the family by saying that Kevin was located in New York City by tracking Peter's credit card with Frank becoming dismayed about leaving Miami and spent their night in the Plaza Hotel after Peter and Kate confronted the staff for letting Kevin check in without an adult and scaring him off after making the discovery. After hearing Buzz's speech of their good fortune for being allowed to stay in the luxurious hotel thanks to Kevin, Frank applauded for Kevin and said, "OK, Kevin! Alright! Merry Christmas!" and then he went to open the presents with the rest of the McCallisters.Template:Ref
