Those of us who collect Louisiana duck decoys owe Charlie a tremendous debt of gratitude. From now on when I turn over an old decoy that was once in his collection and see his brass tag, I'll smile and remember Charles Frank.

Jean, My deepest condolences to you and your family. Charlie was a great influence on my life and that of my father. He offered me many oppurtunities and helped me tremendously as a young man. He is always on my mind when I have a hunting trip our look at my fathers carvings or the decoys they collected. I truly will miss this great man.

Mrs. Frank,
Sorry I as unable to attend the service yesterday, but wanted to express my condolences to you and your family. As a decoy collector,I can say that no one has contributed more to our hobby in Louisiana than
Charlie, his many articles and books will be read and reread for years to come. The information he collected and published during his life was boundless and invaluable. He was a icon and truly "Mr. Louisiana Duck Decoy."
