Hey I know we will all miss Frank, I know I will. I have a car that I was working on and couldn't wait to finish so I could show him. That is one of the many things that he brought in my life, the love for cars as well as others. Words can't express the void that he leave's us. We will all wiss you cous/Uncle.

My prayers to Mr. Frank's wife and extended family for comfort and peace as you say goodbye to your love. I will remember Frank for his infectious smile, his positive outlook on life, the way he looked when he talked of "Skwirt", how he cared about everyone he met, how he made you feel you were his best friend, even if you just met. He will be greatly missed.

TO THE THORNTON FAMILIES******
I am the neighbor of Willie and Dale Thornton,and I would like to express my condolences to Frank's wife,and the entire family that is
in bereavement right now; I share your sorrow and I know you will miss him,but God's Will for Frank's Life is complete. His work down here is over,and he went home to be with Jesus. Just keep happy memories in your heart and mind,and trust in the Lord to get you through this: Weeping May Endure For A Night,But Joy Cometh In The Morning. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;lean not unto thine own understanding,but in ALL thine ways acknowledge Him and He Will Direct Thy Path.
I am praying that the Lord will give you the strength to get through these sad times.

I worked with Mister Frank at Bluelinx for ten years. For two of those years Frank was my supervisor. I must say that out of all the people I have met during my life, Frank is the most respected. Not only was Mister Frank a great man, he was a kind man. I learned alot from Frank. Frank, I hope God has you in a good place now. Everyone at Bluelinx will miss you deeply buddy. May God bless you and your family and give you all peace and comfort. Goodbye Frank, it was an honor to have known you.

I would like to express my sympathy to the family and may God continue to keep you in his care. Frank and I retired around the same time. You couldn't have worked with or known a better person,always pleasant,smilling,and his favorite word when he would pass by was "hey you". Frank will be sadly missed

I worked with Mr. Frank. You never saw him without a smile. He always came by the office to check on the ladies and make sure they were ok. He was highly respected here at BlueLinx

I have known a lot of good people in my life but only a handful of great men. Mr. Thornton was such a man. Words cannot express the level of respect that I had for Frank. He was a great man and will be missed tremedously. Frank, May God grant grace to your family and I hope you enjoy the mansion I know the Father has waiting for you.
