With heart fealt condolences to Kathy and Family,

Frank will be forever loved, never forgotten and always missed.

I sure am going to miss Frank. Prayers to the family that the healing will begin. I picked on him every chance I got and he did the same to me. You would have thought we enemies. You only pick on the ones who are truly your friends. Not everyone can land a plain in a tree. He treated people with respect and caring. I will miss him.

Rest in Peace peace old friend. I enjoyed being a small part of the Old Goats net with you during my time in South Florida and I always looked forward to sharing the mike with your jocular personality. I don't know what Fred, K1ZMA is going to do without you. Brian Fox, W1FOX

Dear Wetmore Family:
When I became active again in Ham Radio a few years ago Frank proved to be the greatest supporter of my homebrew QRP radio experiments, often telling my critics on-the-air that "Walter builds all his own radios and is more of a Ham than the rest of you put together,"
so losing him is very heavy on my heart. Additionally, since I also graduated from high school in Vermont (Randolph), we often enjoyed talking about that part of the country. Frank was a very special and unique personality, and as long as I live I will never forget KC4VGN...
May Peace Be With You,

Frank Wetmore was my friend. He was my Christian friend. He was my Christian brother. I first met him and Kathy when they became my students in an attempt to learn Biblical Greek. He was also my Ham Radio friend. I remember one occasion when I was having a problem with my Ham Radio equipment. Frank invited me to his house for a meal, as he did several times, and afterward he spent a couple of hours analyzing my Ham radio problem, finding the solution, getting the necessary repairs from his Shack, and fixing my equipment -- and would not take a cent for what he did! Yes, we talked about radio, but always it was the blessings of the Lord that took priority in our conversations. I was privileged to be invited to the church when the family did a This Is Your Life surprise gathering for him and Kathy. That was when I learned of his experience with flying and about his store business.

Lately I have been meditating much on 2 Corinthians 4:16 through 5:10. My dear Christian friend a
nd brother has moved out of the tent and into that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. He is no longer groaning in the flesh; he is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord who redeemed him. Absent from the body/tent and present with the Lord. As so many have expressed it, he has just changed his address. We should all be rejoicing together with him, for, the one who redeemed Frank, will comparatively soon change the address of the rest of His redeemed. I thank my heavenly Father that He blessed me -- should I not say us -- by putting Frank in our life's path. I shall miss him.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family. I only met Frank a few times but found him to be a wonderful, soft-spoken man who was obvious in his love of his Lord. My prayers are with you all.

Thank you heavenly Father, for a loving earthy father, who was faithful to Mom, and to us, his family. He was a truly gracious gift! He gave me a model to live by.
