Frank was a lifelong Methodist and taught Sunday School and sang in the choir. He enjoyed tennis, golf, and watching the men in Crimson jerseys take the field on Saturdays in the fall and loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. Frank was many things to many people - husband, father, Pappaw, brother, uncle, and friend and we cherish the memories we have of him.
