My condolences to all of Frank's beloved family.  I was fortunate enough to know him for a few of his early-20's years at  Bethesda  Christian Church and have not seen him since. I have never forgotten him, though, because he was so far beyond most of us in his sterling character and profound faith.

I am sorry to learn of Frank's passing. I received an Altar Call on Easter Sunday 1972 by Pastor James Lee Beall at the Bethesda Missionary Temple in Detroit. Upon responding, Frank Stallwood met me at the altar and led me to receive Jesus Christ as my Savior and become a member of the Family of God. A day i will never forget.
Soon thereafter, I found myself in a Geography class at Wayne State University sitting next to Frank! He will always have a special place in my heart and I look forward to our reconnection in Heaven one day.

Very deeply sorry to hear about Frank's passing!  He was a very inspirational innovative creative kind supportive hospitable man that loved the Lord and cared about his family deeply.  Praying for the Lord's comfort and peace for his wife, Jan, and all family for their great loss.

I was lucky enough to know Frank. He was a kind man that always made me feel like family each and every time I was around him. I will miss stopping in the office and seeing him.

Frank was a monumental man and heavy influence in my life as well as countless others,  A man of unwavering integrity, grace, and leadership. He lived an unbelievable life as a young man and had the best stories from his time in South Africa and beyond. A true friend and someone who was always willing to listen and genuinely cared for people, A great Husband, Father, businessman etc. 
But the thing that stood out more than anything else was his unapologetic faith in Christ, he truly put Jesus at the center of everything from his family life to his career. I will miss him dearly but I know without a doubt that he is celebrating in heaven.
