For his entire life, William has been Frank's brother, and despite their 3.5 year age difference, they are quite close. From building forts in the backyard to trying to beat each other on the soccer field, no one has had a bigger influence on Frank's life.

John and Frank met at Salesianum High School, where they were both on the freshman soccer team. Their friendship was cemented over the fryer and flat-top at del's grill, where they spent numerous summers working together.

Christian and Frank also met at Salesianum High School, where they were virtually inseparable for most of their time there. A lifelong friendship was formed through way too many trips over the Delaware River.

Bryan and Frank met at Notre Dame, where they successfully made Duke Nukem a two player game. Bryan's confident and creative nature tends to bring out the best in Frank.

Rich and Frank also met at Notre Dame, where Rich taught Frank the one handed lay up. Living within walking distance of each other in Cali, Rich and Frank bonded over many Mountain Dew refills at Red Robin.

Brett and Frank were roommates for 3 years at Notre Dame, where they lived in quite a symbiotic relationship. Brett would come up with a brilliant idea (such as buying a jet), and Frank would execute the idea to the best of his ability.

Patrick is the youngest of the Schafer siblings, and is up for doing anything at anytime. Patrick and Frank worked together to construct a uniquely designed, eight legged, collapsible table, whose like will never be seen again.

Ryan is the only Schafer child to have unintentionally visited Philadelphia. Despite his crazy work schedule and some horrible travel conditions, Ryan has managed to get to quite a few family events and that is greatly appreciated.
