Rufus Franklin Gay

Barbara, my condolences. Never met him, but have enjoyed my occasional contacts with Dorothy Darr on High Point history stuff.

He brought so much laughter. We were always laughing.

Frank was such a compassionate fellow. His heart was filled with warmth and support. His loyalty and
insight was remarkable. His sense of humor appeared present lightening any situation. His perception and
intelligence seemed to ease any disharmony.
I shall miss him so much.

I met Frank via my office mate, Diane Lauen. He cheerfully read my book and honestly reported that, while it might be interesting to the neighbors, no one else would find anything to make them want the book. Accurate to a tee.

One of a kind, that Frank, with a very special sense of humor. We'll miss his presence in this world.

Frank was one of my best friends. I'd known him for so long and he was always such an amazing influence on me. He'd given me guidance when I was a kid, always encouraging me to pursue my dreams. As an oddball kid with a weird sense of humor, Frank was someone that understood me and made me feel less alone in the world.

Frank you were one in a million, rest well, you earned it.

-Robbie

The loss of Frank feels like losing one more part of my comfortable world, made up of gentle, talented people. We are all blessed for knowing him.

Frank was a very kind and friendly neighbor, the type of person who makes a neighborhood a friendly and welcoming place. I will always remember how he made people laugh. Knowing that he served as a Peace Corps volunteer helped inspire me to follow that path too. Frank, you will be missed!
