Franklin Delano Osborne

Frank Osborn and I met through my father-in-law, Jack Wheeler. Jack had talked about Frank and his exploits for years before I finally got to meet him. From the first I was impressed! Frank was a spiritied man with a deep rooted passion for America. He was knowledgeable on every subject and was one of the strongest patriots I've ever met. In my fathers later years, Frank and Dad became email buds. My father also was impressed with Frank , his thoughts for today and tomorrow and his...

Frank was one of my favorite credit union members back in the old days. Later, he and Carol were some of my favorite real estate customers. I loved helping them move from Florida to Tennessee...Frank reminded me so much of my Dad and he loved to ask my husband all kinds of computer questions. Wish we would have kept a copy of his autobiography in progress. What a fascinating man and a great American. Best of all, he and Carol loved each other more than any couple I could think of and...

Frank will be missed here in Fountain City. I will miss hearing all of his stories and takes on what is going on in the world.

I am so sorry to hear about Frank's passing. I am really going to miss all his war stories. We was a very honorable and knowledgeable man. We are truly going to miss you Frank.
