We so sorry to hear of Frank's passing and didn't know until after his service was held or would've been there. He was a good, honest and hardworking man. Rest in peace now Frank. You are with your Ruby again !

My brother was a class ahead of Frank. As a little girl, seeing Frank on his horse riding around Sadler was the best! I would visit his horse mainly. I was horse crazy. His dad built the house i grew up in and it still stands. It was built in 55. RIP. Hugs to his family.

Since Frank was a friend and classmate of my sister's, I remember him coming over to our house often. His mother Princess, was a sweet lady. Prayers to his family upon his passing.

I just wanted to reach out to tell you how saddened I am by Frank’s passing. Unfortunately, for health reasons, I was unable to attend the service. He and I started first grade together and was in school together all the way through. I fondly remember Frank as being such a nice, sensitive guy while we were growing up in Sadler. We lost contact after high school, but through the years, I’ve kept up with him through family & friends. With warm thoughts & prayers for his family and his friends during their time of sorrow. God Bless

I am so very sorry. Frank was special to me as a child. He trained our colts and helped me learn to ride. Jack and Princess were the best of friends to my grandparents, James and Audrey Hester. Your family was always important to our family. May the Lord bring you all peace and comfort.
