On his sister, no information is available. It was revealed that Bill Fritz left his wife Susan in 1974 to pursue an affair with an unknown woman. His mother raised Frank, Susan Zirbes, who married Richard Zirbe the same year he was born.

Frank Fritz Career

Frank had always been an avid collector, but this was not his first career to everyone’s surprise. Fritz worked as a fire inspector in Iowa’s Des Moines and Cedar Falls. Frank used to collect Fire Department-related memorabilia and trinkets even when he was a member of the department.

Frank quit his job after Frank purchased an item for $15 and profited more than $450. He then decided to become an antique collector and established Frank’s Finds in Savanna, Illinois. He had a large collection of signs, old toys, and vintage motorcycles.

Frank began appearing on the television show American Pickers with his high school friend Mike Wolfe. The show premiered on January 18, 2010, and it follows two childhood friends who travel across America in search of high-priced antiques in order to make a profit.

The friendship and chemistry between the two is obvious, as they have always shared the hobby of collecting. They were so close that people began to assume they were gay and considered them a couple.

It was announced in 2021 that everyone’s favorite Fran Fritz would be leaving American Picker. He left the show due to a disagreement with Mike Wolfe. The two appear to have drifted apart over the years.

So much so that Mike claimed that in their ten years of working together, Frank Fritz never said anything nice about him. When asked about his return, Frank stated that he would always want to return because this was something he enjoyed doing. Mike Wolfe, on the other hand, confirmed that Frank will not be returning for the show.

Danielle Colby, who we previously covered on our website, expressed her sadness that Frank was leaving the show, as the two were very close despite the fact that Mike is Danielle’s boss.

Frank Fritz Wife, Marriage

Frank has always lived a life full of adventures and comfort because he is the cohost of a very famous and hit reality TV show. He is well-known for his bike collection, and his passion for motorcycles dates back to his adolescence.

When Frank Frtiz was a teenager, he used to work at Coast to Coast Hardware and Quad-City Automatic Sprinkler to save up for a Harley-Davidson. His parents were taken aback when he purchased the bike, but it was well worth it, according to Frank.

Frank’s love life was a disaster during his adolescence. Dianna Bankson, the 57-year-old collector’s ex-girlfriend, is now his new girlfriend. Dianna is a divorced single mother of one daughter, Paige.
