Frank James Lilly Jr.

What a wonderful man and artist. I was unaware of the accident & Frank's passing & kept trying to reach him to exhibit again at Dyersburg State Jimmy Naifeh Center. I never saw Frank without a smile on his face and joy in his heart. We'll miss you, my friend.

I met Mr. Lilly through his art. Over the years I have purchased many pieces and cherish them all. What means the most is his story of how or why he created a piece. The chats we had are lovely memories. We are blessed to have shared the world at the same time as Mr. Frank Lilly. I so wish I had known earlier of his passing. Blessing to his family.

I'm so sad to hear this news. My husband and I are privileged to own one of Mr. Lilly's art pieces and it is proudly displayed at our home in New Mexico. We enjoyed encountering him on Main St. from time to time. Such a kind man. May he rest in peace.

With our wonder twin rings. What a great artist and kind man.

I met Mr. Lilly a few years ago at a voter registration event, and we bonded over wearing similar rings. He brought down some of his paintings and was so generous with his time and stories. I think of him often and send condolences to his family.

My thoughts are with the family. Mr. Frank was an awesome person. Old school gentleman. We were next door neighbors at our apartment unit. He was gentle soul. I will miss so much. May his soul rest in peace. God bless the family.

Artists Link member will miss him so much. He was an absolute joy.

I met Frank at art events and would run into him occasionally at art stores. For a man I didn't know very well, I greatly admired him. He made a great impact, and his love of family - particularly the one violin-playing grandson I met - was so obvious. The world's light dimmed with Frank's passing.

Condolences the family, God keep His loving around the family, the Joy of the Lord is your Strength, His Love keep you always
