  1. Although Frank didn’t make the Shrine Club meetings of late he was a good shriner for many years and the old timers missed him, Rest in Peace Noble

  2. Dear Betty, Lisa and family,
    I am so sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. I haven’t seen him in many years.. since I was a small child, but I remember him as a kind man with a great family. I am a distant relative, the daughter of Frank’s cousin Larry Cherry. I always looked forward to visiting his mother Marie when I was a child. She was a very special woman and her son was good man. May Frank Rest In Peace.
