Mr Franklin,  as well as Richard Dawson , and I  shared a love of antique engines.  We talked about engines more than the reason for the office visit .   I visited his collection once and he would meet me in my office parking lot to pick up and restore some antique Maytag engines my grandfather, the Maytag man had.  He also gave me an aviation related antique and some books.  Rest in Peace  Mr Franklin

Chuck was more than a friend, he was like a brother.  From our high school days at Wakefield to the present we have had a special brotherhood.  We have shared life, watched our families grow, our bodies age and slow down. There are a life time of memories to help keep him alive in our hearts.  He fought a hard fight and he will be sorely missed. Rest in peace my brother!!

We luv yall and send our heart felt condolences.   Chuck will be dearly missed!  We're so very thankful that Chuck was in our lives, and the boys lives!  He was more like a Grandfather to our boys and for that we'll always be greatful.  We're truly sorry for your loss and love yall.  God be with and bless you! 
Sincerely~David, Christina, Faye, Loghan, and Nathan

I wish to express my condolences to the family of Charles(Chuck) Franklin. I was the Electrician Supervisor for NNPS during the time of his employment. I enjoyed his friendship and the knowledge that he shared with me. May all the great memories heal this pain during your time of grief. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Chuck has been a big part of my family, he made every wedding, baptism, graduation  etc. he will be missed. I thank him for his service to the country. 
Sorry not to be at the service, but you are all in my prayers.
May the memories you have give you comfort during this difficult time. Love to all. Debbie
