Franklin Hassell Sr.

Hello Hassell, this is Ms. Pearson. I will always remember you when we worked together at Campostella Jr. High. Carrie Smith, Diane Marlow and I had great laughs. I hope you are doing well and not in anymore pain. You will always be remembered.

Thinking of the great times at IRHS basketball games. Our sons played together. Your great spirit, laughter and overall character will never be forgotten. R.I.P great friend.

I met Frank when I started working with state juvenile justice in 2006. He invited me down to Norfolk for one of his fishing trips with the kids on his Suffolk caseload. I was immediately impressed by his energy and his connection to the young people. We hit it off from the start; his love of ODU basketball with his son playing there, and mine of VCU was a great teasing point. I was very sad to learn of his passing. It is a little colder place in Virginia without Frank. God bless his...

My condolenses to your family during your time of greiving. My son loved your family and appreciated Big Frank's love. Remember the love he gave to all.

To the Hassell Family, I was sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one. I met Frank back in 1988 when I first moved to Suffolk as an employee with the Suffolk Public School System and he a probation officer. He really had a heart for the children he served and for those he considered his friend. He will be missed but it is good to know that He is in God's loving arms now.

May god bless YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

FRANK!!! Gonna miss that big smile of yours...Condolences to the family!
