Frank E. Ballard Jr.

To the Ballard Family,

Please accept my condolences, He was a special person. Frank and I were classmates and graduated from Jeff High in 1967. We were friends when he was at Sacred Heart and I was at Parkview. I moved away from Jeff in '68. I was in the Air Force from 69 to 73. In 1971 I went to Southeast Asia and who did I run into? You guessed it. It was Frank. What a pleasant surprise it was to see an old classmate some 10,000 miles away from home.

Rest in peace my...

The last time I saw Frank he was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and had a cocktail in his hand. His smile was like looking at the sun. This is how I always want to remember him. Love to Patti and the family.

Dear Jane & Ballard Family,
We are sorry for the loss of your son, and sibling.
The Leonard Family has lost not only a great friend, but a Family member also.
Franki was like a brother to the Leonard Family. As we were growing up
Franki was always over at our house eating, watching tv,and hanging around with our big brother skipper & shelby.
Those were the good old days with
wonderful memories & fun times as Franki and Freddy Taylor would take the Leonard kids...

Frankie,
I am very, very sorry you lost your dad. I expressed to him one time what a wonderful job he and your mother did in raising such a fine young man as you. I have wonderful memories of your youth, and see that you continue to shine today! My prayers are with you and your family. Suellen Roberts

I was very saddened to hear about Frank. He was one of the good guys.

Frankie, I am very sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a very special person and he never met a stranger. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
