Frank , it’s crazy. I met you in 1997, I rented your trailer car lot on Buford Hwy. We became friends with a 27 year old young black man . You invited me to your home several times and hung out around your beautiful swimming pool . You told me wonderful stories and I told you my troubles and you where ready to rescue. That’s been many years ago . I went my own way and years later I thought about you and googled your name and discovered you passed away way back in 2013. I wonder what you where up to from 1997 to 2013, I would love to know and would have love to sit and talk with you again . Rest In Peace Frank

I live in Florida and had no idea Frank had passed away. He was a family friend and I considered him a member of my family. He taught me so many things over the years. I have passed so many of those things on to my children. He was one of my dad's best friends (Fred Brannon). Frank was a great man and had such a great sense of humor!!! He will be so missed!!! I hate that I didn't know about this sooner. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Frank, I miss you already. You were such a wonderful person and so loved your beautiful Newfie's. They had a better life because you were a better person. They missed you and we miss you. I know you are in Heaven with Majic and Angel and are frolicking together. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life.
