We enjoyed having you in our congregation (Bateman Baptist Church) on Sunday mornings, when you could make it. You have a wonderful daughter and son-in-law in Jean and Bill Wilson. We also enjoyed having your sister, Alvina join us for worship service. You were a gentle man.

I, too, remember the Gentle Giant from next door. They really do grow 'em bigger and better in Texas.

You've been a cherished friend since 1959, and I pray for your eternal rest. Well done, good and faithful servant. Moe is waiting for you with a cup of coffee and the latest joke.

We lived next door to Frank and Delly for the first 4 years of my life. When I'd hear the story of Jack & the Beanstalk, I couldn't understand why the giant was the bad guy - since the giant *I* knew was so nice!
He remained a dear family friend, and Frank never stopped being a giant in my mind.
My condolences go out to his family and circle of loved ones - along with the hope that we all might also live as long a life, with the respect of so many, and without regrets.

Mr. Frank was the best neighbor a person could have. He was always filled with good stories, and a bottle or two of peach jelly! I will miss his smile, and our conversations. In the short time I knew him I knew he was a man among men. He will be missed.

My condolences to the Willie Frank family. His grandmother Abelina Reppenhagen and my great-grandmother Bertha Reppenhagen were sisters.

My sincere condolences to William's family members for their loss of a wonderful brother, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, and friend.
My grandfather, Ben Rippenhagen, and William's grandmother Abelina Reppenhagen Frank, were brother and sister.
