I'm speaking for myself, and I know for my Parents (departed), when I say that Franklin and Barbara added much pleasure to our lives. The many years of visits back and forth, common interests including 4-H, dairy farming and most important Rabbit Beagles, add cherished times that our family had with him. I consider him a roll model for highest honesty, friendliness, and contribution to our County's values. God Bless Franklin
