He worked for Guardian Industries for 11 years and worked at Tyson for 16 years before retiring. He touched the hearts of all those he met, and he never met a stranger.
Franklin Jr., enjoyed football, basketball, baseball, and fishing. He was a huge Razorback fan and could tell you who played and what year they played for Arkansas. One of his favorite places to visit was Branson, MO and Silver Dollar City. Although he never rode in rides at the park he would walk around talking and visiting with everyone in the park, loved to listen to the music and interact with the events within the park. He loved his hometown of Bentonville where he spent many days walking the entire town visiting with anyone he met on his walk.
