I'll always value the memories that Uncle Frank shared with us and the way that he always tried to connect everyone together through social media by linking us with relatives we may have never met if it wasn't for him. I have a clear knowledge of our family roots and history because of Uncle Frank being our family tree historian, and I cherish every single photo he's shared. Uncle Frank certainly loved his mother, father, sisters, brothers, wife, children and grandchildren and often spoke of them with so much love and pride. He loved his country as well, and often spoke of the years he served his country and the experiences he had while serving. One thing that always made me smile was how he would speak certain terms in what Turkish he remembered from his years being stationed in Ankara, Turkey during his military service. Since I had also lived there we both shared memories of the country. His memories will live on through us to be shared and passed on through our children. Uncle Frank is truly an honorable man, loving husband, father, brother, son, and uncle, and he will be deeply missed. I love you Uncle Frank and until we meet again Seni özleyeceğim vey huzur içinde yatsın (Turkish)

Last photo we took together. You will be missed. 

My baby brother Frank ( five years my junior)  and I were close all through our younger years.  We ran wild in the CUT-N-SHOOT creek bottoms, fishing,  swimming ,setting hooks to catch Cat fish.  Until I reached high school age where I discovered girls, his interest remained on Cowboys and Indians. We each drifted  of in different directions.  I served my military time and then he served his to hold the family tradition.  Our paths didn't seem to merge again as before.   Can't replace a baby brother.

I hope my Unc knew how much I loved him all these years.  He always made me feel special and had a way of lifting my spirits!  I loved how he loved his siblings.  They truly had a strong bond!  He is catching up with one’s that have gone before him and will be patiently waiting for his remaining two.  I’m blessed to have one of his special ponds that he built for my mom, his sister, Flossie.  He built it attached to my back patio so “Flossie can see it from her house”(close behind my house).  She loved that he traveled all the way from Georgia to Texas to make this for her birthday!  So talented...so thoughtful....so loving!....going to miss my Unc!....until we meet again!  
I pray God’s love and comfort for Sheryl and Terry and their families, but I also pray for my Aunt Shirley.....she’s going to miss the love of her life!

There's only one Uncle Frank!Always willing to listen to what you have to say!! We would talk on the phone,Uncle Frank could tell stories about his times in the service,Aunt Shirley, etc. I could go on.He was a good man who will be missed. God bless Uncle Frank😀

I am glad you were part of my life and I am glad I had the chance to meet you a couple years ago. We will miss you so much and love you! 

Frank was a dear friend of mine for over twenty five years.
There’s so much I’d like to say to or about him, his love for the time he did spend in The Netherlands was ever present.
The small town of Zeist was why we did met via the web, chatting about the place I grew up in which also was the town he loved so much.
Frank, like a lot of other people I will miss you mijn vriend (Dutch;-)
Thank you for being a part of my life.
