My sympathy to the Ingram family. I'll always remember Frankie for the friendly, popular person that he was. I knew him when we were growing up in the Enon Church of Christ and the Clayton Church. Then in later years when my husband Jack and I would return for visits, he always made us feel welcome.

Thanks for a life-time of memories and countless good times. No son or daughter (or grand-child) could have had a better Dad and PaPa. You were not only my Dad but my best-friend! You know how much you were loved by all of us; thank GOD we never missed the opportunity to say that to each other. Rest in Peace. We'll miss you Dad!

I have had the privilige of living in Dothan since 1965. Over the year I have met people who have meant so much to this community. Frankie was one of those people. He did so much. The rescue squad is indespensible to the welfare of the community. He gave of himself to young people. I am glad I got to work with him. As I have said of others we have lost who impacted this area, Some will never know how much they owe him.

Eddie and Other Family, it's heartbreaking to know that there won't be a smile to come from Frankie again until we see him on the other side but when we do see him he'll be beaming from ear to ear only as he knows how. For all that he did to help others would take another lifetime to go down the list but we can all take satisfaction in knowing just how special he was. As the days go by may all of you find strength in the One who holds all understanding. My love, thoughts, and prayers are with you, Jan

God Bless the Ingram Family; My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I've known Frankie since we were children riding the bus to school & him picking me up on Sunday mornings to go to the radio station WAGF in Dothan to sing. He will be missed by all.
