Frank & Loretta were longtime neighbors of ours on Haywood Rd for many years – never anything but kindness & friendliness in all that time! Condolences to all his family – rest in peace!
Loretta,
How sad we are to learn about Franks passing. He was a genuinely sweet man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the days ahead.
We were very sorry to hear of Franks passing. Frank and I were members at the same golf club many years ago. He was a cut-up and always had a smile on his face and was a joy to play golf with. It was our pleasure to finally meet Loretta months ago and witness her love and devotion and caring for Frank. Please carry our sympathies and prayers with you as you go forward in these difficult times. God Bless! Billy & Tommie Carter
So sorry to learn of Frank’s passing. Frank served our church for many years and was always dedicated to doing an excellent job. Our prayers will be you, Loretta, and all the family.

It was indeed a privilege and pleasure to know Frank and to understand that his calling to maintain and clean our church was indeed a Trust that God had given him to take care of our church!!
Over the years we had wonderful conversations and he was always so kind to me, and I will always cherish those times!!
I know that Frank is in heaven and I just want you to know that I will be praying for you in these days!!
