Son of Frank and Helen, and the grandson of a baker on Beale Avenue, now known as "Beale Street." The name Bensieck can still be seen in the stonework above the door of the Rum Boogie Cafe at Third and Beale. Frank the younger was a very successful purveyor of fine furniture, often consulted by his personal customers from afar in anticipation of their arrival. "You know our requirements, Frank. We'll leave it to your judgement. Just send us the bill."

Frank and a partner made an investment property available to a trust after the 2001 World Trade Center attack, so that ground zero first-responders who had been working nonstop since the disaster could bring their families for a respite to a nice Florida condominium apartment fully stocked with groceries at no charge.

Frank was survived by one sister and one daughter in Memphis, and one son in Jackson, Mississippi.
