Eugene Maxwell Frank

Dear Frank Family,

I'm sitting here with my dad, retired UM pastor from Arkansas John Miles, and told him about Bishop Frank's death. He and I have been reading the obituary and recalling memories of Bishop and Mrs. Frank. We are remembering times, especially, when we were together with the Franks and my mother - who died recently and unexpectedly.

We were remembering how close Bishop and Mrs. Frank were to so many families in the Arkansas area - including ours. ...

To the family:
We, Louise Axton-Steves-Opperud & Charles and Barbara Axton certainly have many wonderful memories of Gene and the family. As some of you know Gene married Barbara and me and we were all members of the church during his time in Topeka. He and Wilm'-Alice lived a fine and fruitful life of which his family and friends can be enormously proud enjoying the memories as well. Louise will be 98 in Dec. and
if you wish you can best reach her and us by...

Dear Bishop Frank Family,
We are grateful to God for the effective Ministry of Bishop and Mrs. Frank. Bishop Frank Baptized our son, "Trey" in 1972 in the Wesley UMC, Russellville, Arkansas, when he was serving as our Bishop.
Being a Retired UM Minister, we served appointments under Bishop Frank and have always been appreciative of his kindness and genuineness as a wonderful Servant of the Lord.
He and Wilma Alice were truly a "Team" for the Lord!!

Bishop Frank ordained my husband the late Rev. Robert W. Robertson. Both he and Mrs. Frank are very dear in our memories. Please know of my prayers. Rev. Betty Embrey Robertson, UM clergy retired.

Tom, I am very sorry for your loss. Mary Dorsey Bass Wanless

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Eugene Frank family. Eugene baptized me at Washington Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas in 1942. The last time I saw Bishop Frank was at the General Conference in St. Louis, Missouri. He was always looked up to by the Eugene and Maurine Collins family.
With our deepest sympathy,

Gretchen - So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My thoughts, prayers, and celebration of the life of Bishop Frank are with his family and his friends. What a wonderful person, pastor, and bishop was Gene. He married my parents over 62 years ago, and was still a good personal friend of theirs. A never ending stream of goodness has come from the life here on earth of Bishop Frank; a life he is now celebrating with Wilma, in heaven.

Uncle Gene and Aunt Wilma were a very special couple in my life and my parents lives. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
With deepest sympathy,
