Frank was one of the most gentle spirits I have ever encountered. He loved his technology and talking about Russia. He had a smile that made you feel comfortable and loved. He always listened and gave real advice. Today we remember him and his legacy. We love you Frank! 

My deepest condolences to the family.  My friend Frank  you will truly be missed.  My heart is very heavy but I know my friend is no longer suffering...…..SIP my friend...….


Henry Smalls Sr.

Mr. Frank was one of the sweetest spirits I had ever met. He was very patient and loved talking about his technology! He had a way of calming down the room and making you laugh, that made him a joy to be around. To Mr. Frank, thank you for every kind word and memory. 

To the family,  I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope that in this time of grief that the holy spirit brings you comfort. Hold fast to the memories and remember all of the lessons and laughs that Frank gave you. I love you all and the Johnson family is here to support you through this tough time.

From Overseer 
Like Connie Adams (Freeman) I remember those days on the football field. I remember the great times watching him on the football field and basketball court. Most recent times, I remember when he and I sat down and talked together. 

From Pastor
Bro Frank will be remembered in our hearts for his loving nature, smile, and good heart. We thank him for his service and for being able to share the joy of him just being him. We love you and may you rest with Jesus for eternity. 

To my loving wonderful Big Brother JR, I remember the 1st time you and I went fishing, to my surprise I didn’t think anyone enjoyed fishing more than I did, but I soon realized that you did and you were a much better fisherman than I would ever be. I love the memories you’ve left me with being ur brother.  I can remember your football career, especially when you won the Tommy Paul award (an award given to the best football player on the team) at Manatee High and when you played at Lincoln high school. I was so proud of you and hoped one day I could be as good as you were on the football field. I can remember so much about those Lincoln high school days when you played. I can remember coming to ur games and me and Wilmo would roll down the hill near the stadium in Palmetto. I guess I’m trying to say you’ve been such a positive force in my life. I miss you and know that you are in a much better place, but I also wish you were here with ur family.  I Love you so much my brother.

Frank & I are cousins; Our Grandmother's were Sisters, we always had that family gathering, growing up. We knew most of our relatives. Frank didn't have much to say. But that smile just let you knew he was listening.  He also was great in football, & basketball. Sadly to say last time I saw him was at his Sister's Homegoing service. May God continue to comfort his wife and all of our families. 

I’m going to miss our talks in the dental chair buddy😢 . I thank you for your service to this country 🇺🇸 R.I.H my friend, No more PAIN for you!! You will be missed!! Prayers for his family 🙏🏽
