After a courageous year-long battle with cancer, because of his relationship with Jesus Christ, Frank won the fight on Thursday, July 27th, when he moved to Heaven to be with his Savior.

Elizabeth, John and Sarah, all whom he loved dearly.

Frank was a charter member of Faith Baptist Church in North Little Rock, where he served His Lord and church family his entire life. He was well known in both his church and the community for his music ministry of harmonica playing for friends and shut-ins.
