Sending our condolences to all of Frankie’s family from former neighbors, Richmond, Mary Charles, and Ashley Watkins. We are sorry for your loss. Prayers of comfort for you all.

I am so incredibly sorry about Mr. Frankie. From the time we moved across the street and he found out my husband was a trucker he always told me he watched out for me being here alone. That always made me feel better that if I needed anything Mr. Frankie was there to help. I will miss hearing him holler "hey young lady" whenever he seen me outside. He will be missed very much, especially his cutting up with you and laughing so much. If there is any way I can help with anything in the future please let me know.

Frankie was a good friend, always kind with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes.  I will miss him.  I always felt a somewhat Avondale connection with him.  My heart felt sympathy to Janice, Keith, Brian and all of their families.  My love to Peggy, Debbie and the rest of the family.

Frankie was my friend, but he had many friends. He enjoyed doing things for his friends. When he had a garden, he shared his veggies with me. When he went fishing, he sent me fish,  or better yet had several fish fries for the Ruth Sunday School Class. He called me many times just to tell me that he enjoyed an article I had written. Jan and I taught  school together and Frankie took me on as his friend when she and I first met. He loved Jan very much and was proud of this California/Arizona girl who became his Alabama wife. I will miss him.

The first time I met Frankie was at Dixie Color. I grew up around several of the men that worked with my daddy (John Mason). Thank you Frankie for always being so sweet to me. I will never forget that. ♥️

I will miss my friend that I worked with for 30 yrs and spent many days crappie fishing and camping at Windcreek. He always jokingly referred to me as his ex-friend . Miss you Frankie my x-friend ! Lol
