Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Frank was a good man and I will remember him with that great smile on his face.
Frank’s Family, I have known Frank, Julius, and their family about all my life from Vance School days. In life we are never ready to lose our loved ones and the only comfort comes from our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. We are thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers. Joe and Zunita Clark
Uncle Frank was not only my uncle but one of my best friends.We had some really great times together and I will miss him dearly.
Frank was a dear cousin. We were together as children until my parents moved West. We stayed in touch over the years and visited several times. He was a good, compassionate man and lived by the principles of his Christian faith.
My deepest sympathy.. I used to hunt w Frank & Julius years ago @ Lake Mattamaskeet,NC. Great memories. Howard Collins
You are in my thoughts and prayers I have so many memories of Frank. May God Bless you and hold your hand during this time .
My prayers are with you. I worked with Frank at the Sheriffs office. I will always remember his smile.
The family does not know me, but Frank was my first boss, hired me in 1976 to work in child support and for the county attorney at that time. He was a good person. I worked with him for 10 years and he was a great boss. He adored his son, Mitchell. He was also in the same nursing home as my mother, who passed on July 5, 2009. I am very sorry for your loss. Patty
Dear Cauble Family: Frank was two years my elder but I remember him well from our childhood and school days. It appears that I missed knowing him for these later years. Of course, Julius and I were play mates, as well as Norma Rudy Cauble. May God bless and keep Frank at His right hand and give him the love and grace promised. Take care and we;ll meet him again in heaven. Henry P. ‘Spike’ May

Frnak was such a dear friend to us through the years. We will always remember the good times spent with Frank. No matter what, he always had that smile and a kind word. Frank loved dogs and every time he came to our house, he would get in the floor and play with our dogs just like a big kid. He had such a sense of humor and we enjoyed his company so much. Frank loved his family and his friends and will be missed by all.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER FRANK AS A WONDERFUL FRIEND AND PERSON FOR SO MANY YEARS. SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
Sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. When I lived in Asheville many years ago, Frank and I were competitors in the bonding business but he always treated me with respect and helped me in many ways. Frank was a gentleman and I enjoyed being around him. His presence will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
John and I worked with Frank for a long time in law enforcement. And continued with our friendship when Frank retired. Have not talked to him in quite a while but want the family to know how much we enjoyed his friendship and he will be missed..
