Lucian Franklin Emerson Jr.

Frank is a dear forever friend. I met Frank while working at Hillsboro Presbyterian Church. My heart will always carry his memory . He called me Wonder Woman, Frank you always brought a smile to my face. We enjoyed many special lunch times together. Love and miss you my friend, Janie aka Wonder Woman

Although I was unaware of Lukes passing, I have thought of him often through the years of Navy flight school, Oceana Va. and visiting once in Tn. Good friend. Fair winds and following seas Shipmate on your eternal flight

Frank was one of the first people I met when we moved to Nashville in 1995. We were both cancer advocates and I admired Frank for his strength and unwavering voice for patient treatment and cancer research. In later years, Ken and I marvelled at the hope he offered others as he fought his own battle. Kathy, we are deeply sorry for your loss.

Frank touched many, many lives and will be greatly missed. World Famous Frank and I got to be pals on our Rotary CLub's first trip to Guatemala. We shared an extraordinary adventure. I am grateful for Frank's friendship and leadership and will remember him always for his generosity .of .spirit. Rest in peace, Frank. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!

I know Frank from Jr High and High School in Wellesley, MA. I last saw him in 2009. We called him Emma; his mother called him Frankie. Frank was intelligent, talented and a great athlete. He was motivated and worked hard. He was full of positive energy. He had an enthusiastic infectious personality and was fun to be around.
Godspeed Emma!

Frank was a NROTC Midshipman under my tutelage when he attended Vanderbilt University and even then he stood out as unique, a leader, one you could trust and it was obvious he was going to do great! His life is a testimony to his character. He has left an indelible mark on many others during his life. Fortunately, we had gotten together a few months ago and we had the opportunity to meet Kathy. He will not be forgotten.

I had the pleasure of meeting Frank and sharing a few really nice evenings with him and his wife when I lived in Nashville years ago. I was so honored to get to know his children and spending many happy hours enjoying Emerson family events. I'm very sorry for his loss and for the pain and sorrow of his loved ones.

I only came to know Frank as of late through this season of Point Men Ministries at BUMC. While his time influencing me was short, it made a profound impact on me. I was privileged to sit beside him, share a coffee with him, and listen to him speak to our table. I will miss his smile.
