Franklin was a dear and dedicated man who served his family, his country and his church with humor, passion and conviction. Valerie, Parker and I were privileged to know him and Ruby during our years at Washington Street. The world is better for Frank’s being with us for almost 90 years. Go in peace, Franklin, and may the peace of God go with you.
Franklin was my dear friend and fellow usher for many years at Washington Street. He always took the job seriously and performed his duties with quiet dignity. My thoughts and prayers are with Ruby and her family.
We are thinking and praying for you guys. Uncle Franklin will always be in our hearts! I’m crushed I can’t be there for you all now. My brothers are coming. We love all of you and now mom and her brother are together again ❤️ Love, Connie, Charles, Annie and Matt
Frank was very special to us. We were in a camping club with his family. He was always ready go somewhere. He especially liked to drive the roads near the places that we were camping. After the long road trip, we would stop for a meal. He will be missed by all.

Franklin was such a kind, dignified man and friend. Sincere condolences to his wife Ruby and the whole family. Franklin and Ruby met in the Hal Fisher Sunday School class at Washington Street United Methodist Church. He will be greatly missed.
