Franklin Robert King Jr.

Family Reunion Moro, AR Cousin Roxie Hobbs home.. pickup basketball game with Sylwavion's cousins. They were flying around, laughing, yelling, kicking up dust and talking stuff! Franklin was faster than everyone, a better shooter and OH my God he could sky and dunk! As a big sports fan I watched in amazement...who was this big athletic guy with a big smile who could jump so high? This is my first memory of meeting my sweet Cousin Sylwavion's husband. He was kind, funny, enjoyed life and...

sorry to hear about Franklin - he was a terrific guy and a better teammate. He will be missed.

I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of Franklin. I was seven years older than Franklin and I remember him as a well-behaved young guy. I know he had to become a great father himself, with the excellent examples his father set for him. Franklin Senior became a second father to me when my father passed in 1965 at the age of 15 years old. Frank senior would all me over to his house and he would talk to me about staying calm, staying under control and staying in school. I recall Franklin...

Franklin was such a great guy. I played on the Cowboy Oil baseball team with him. I remember he was twice my size and would pick me up and sit me on his lap give that laugh of his.

I was a teammate with Franklin when we both signed with the Houston Oilers in 1979. I rode to Houston with him when we broke training camp in San Angelo that year. Franklin was a good football player but a better person. RIP

God bless you and your family. Love you brother.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. I went thru High School with Franklin. We had some classes together and he was always so nice and fun to be around. Tina Wellard
