Frank E. Sheldon

A true American hero. RIP.

I loved Frank and Betty Sheldon from almost the minute I met them...and miss Frank dearly. My prayer is that Betty is still doing well, surrounded by the love of her family and friends in the sunny south. We miss Betty's presence and remember Frank with only the fondest memories of a man who loved God, his wife and family, and his country. Quite a lovely family!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I will surely miss his presence in my life, and feel honored to,have been counted among his friends.

Frank was one of calmest members of Bill's family. This was important to a quit person like me, especially as a child.

What a great man he was it was a privilege to know him

Frank was my introduction to being a Methodist. After we changed churches and started coming to Portage Methodist, Frank asked me to be on a committee of outreach. He was so kind in voice and knowledgeable about the Methodist church and religion in general. We had lots of conversations over the years and his good humor stood out along with his wisdom. I often wondered how someone can have that much insight into human lives and that much caring ability for others. Donna and I are going to miss...
