Willie and Jerry so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I remember the clubhouse your father use to supply with army stuff. He was such a kind man. May god hold you in this time of sorrow.

Mr. Jehu shared many stories of his life to me when I bought my home from him. A man who knew how to cultivate the earth, he was also rich with friendship, of many who had passed before him, and will pass after. A dear sweetheart of a man whom I enjoyed knowing. May his family find comfort in celebrating his life in their memories.

My prayers are with you in this time of grief and also the joys you will have in the memories of Mr. Jehu. He was a very unique and special man to a lot of people. I loved Mr. Jehu and the family and enjoyed working with them for the years that I was at Glenview Gardens. May God richly bless those he left behind for only a short period of time.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Jehu Allen Frantom our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Jehu. And to Jehu it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II while serving in the U.S. Army. Jehu, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, Generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Jehu's family and loved ones.
