The club described him as an iconic figure deeply respected across the sport.
They highlighted his role in the famous Ardboe teams that secured three consecutive Tyrone Senior Championships between 1971 and 1973, and his return from the USA to help win another championship in 1984.
The club also recalled his legendary performance in the 1984 Ulster final: "He produced one of the greatest individual performances ever witnessed in Ulster football, scoring eleven points from play for Tyrone in the Ulster Final at Clones — five with his left foot, five with his right and one with his fist."
His 1984 exploits earned him Ardboe's first All-Star award, and he later served as manager of the senior team.
The club noted that his character matched his athletic abilities.
"Known affectionately across Tyrone and beyond simply as 'The King', Frank was a genius of a footballer who commanded the respect and admiration of the entire GAA fraternity," the club said.
They expressed gratitude for his influence on future generations: "Through his brilliance, humility and love for Gaelic games, he truly put our great club on the map and inspired generations of players who followed.
