Earlier today, you were laid to rest after a courageous battle during your illness.
Be assured that your three sons and their families will continue to honor your family name with compassion for others and community service.
Thank you for the kindness which you extended to my father until his death in 1986 and your assistance in helping me to prepare for his funeral service and burial. I shall never forget those moments.
Rest in peace, Frank.

He and I shared the same birthday, but he in 1938 and I, in 1933. He was a man of integrity and a Brother Free Mason. He a Firefighter and myself, Fire Police. I always looked forward to working with him when I was asked to work at the funeral home or be a driver. Farewell my Brother!! !

Dear Pat and family,
For the time that I did get to know him over the thirty years of working at Lourdes with Pat and having the honor of getting to know him. It was honorable, respectful, honest, generous and devoted. Devoted to Pat and his entire family. He will be sadly missed and I can not begin to imagine your pain and feeling of loss. A long time ago Frank and Pat helped me at a time when I needed it the most and for that I am forever grateful. His sweetness showed...

A piece of my childhood is gone with the passing on of your Dad, fun memories of playing at the Jackson home. Thankful memories of what a community truly is through Mr. Jackson. Sorry for this great loss.
