I found no wife or children and I didn't find a death date or place, although there was a Frank Zach that died in Cleveland, Ohio 3 June 1961 in a Nursing home, he's 78 and a widow. Might be him but I have no proof yet.

Was this man a career criminal? I think he was an opportunist, if something came his way he would try it and get caught. I feel sorry for him, seems to me he was alone in the world.
