Franklin. I miss seeing you everyday. You were my neighbor and my friend. I wish that I would have spent more time with you. But I know I will see you again and we will have a laugh. Your smile and soul was one of a kind. You will never be forgotten and will be missed here on the Westside. We all admired your spirit and your legacy. Until we meet again.

Dear Family of Frank Macon, My sisters and I once met Frank at a Colorado Springs Natives' Club meeting. He was a fascinating guest and as natives, our paths had crossed before. Our family owned the Pine Valley Dairy (now on Air Force Academy grounds) from 1935-1945. My older sisters, Joan & Marlene, remember the Pine Valley Airfield was on a ridge above the valley, not where the Air Force Academy Airfield is today. They rode their horses up there to watch small planes take off and land, probably one of Frank's! Our parents, aunts and uncles , and ourselves all graduated from Colorado Springs/Palmer High School also, We three sisters had long civil service careers at Fort Carson, Air Academy, and NORAD. One of my most beloved co-workers was Marion Rodgers, another Tuskegee Airman, Lt Col, pilot, who passed away at 95 in 2017. I am sure he and Frank knew each other. These men were true heroes in a time that did not readily accept them, working doubly hard to achieve their dreams and serve our country.
Our hearts, prayers and sympathy to Frank's family, Carol Todd, Joan Roberts, Marlene Clayton (Potts Family of Pine Valley Dairy)

His grace and dignity was exceptional, he will always be remembered for his dedication and service to his country. I was fortunate enough to have met him and he was a true gentleman. To his family, please accept my sincere condolences. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.

I met Frank a few years ago, when he was being inducted into the CSHS/Palmer Alumni Hall of Fame. We continued to meet and talk over the years. I even helped him on some family tree questions, that he had. When his book, "I Wanted to Be a Pilot: The Making of a Tuskegee Airman" came out, he autographed my copy for me. He was a gentle, kind man who never spoke ill of others and helped blaze a trail for all to follow.
May you Rest in Peace, my friend.

Because of men like Mr. Macon, men like me could assume leadership roles within the military today. Because of his belief that no man was better than he was, I believed that I could make a difference. It was not easy to endure what he went through but he did it with an amazing sense of dignity and grace. I salute you and your and your service, but most of all I salute the life of excellence that you continued to live after your service.
