Frank was a great guy. Really enjoyed doing cabinet work for him years ago and hanging out at Homebuilders Association meetings. I know he will be missed.
Cathy and Phil Carr and family in honor of Aunt Shirley and Uncle Gib that love you Kathy and Frank so very very much. Kathy all you and Frank did for mother can never be repaid by me but there is some loving going on in heaven by an aunt and her favorite nephew as she called him when he wasn’t aggravating her!

So sorry to learn today of Frank’s passing. I always enjoyed seeing and talking with Frank. You and Frank were so supportive and helpful when my wife and I first moved to Asheville. He will be missed.
I’m so sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. I’ll never forget our adventures and high school days.
Kathy, I hope your many years of fond memories with Frank bring you comfort during this sad time. You and Frank were great neighbors during the 5 years Robert and I lived in Pinners Cove. It was always fun to hang out with you two and enjoy a beer or two after work. I’ll always remember Frank’s hearty laugh; it was infectious!
I am so sorry to just learn of your great loss. I was just scrolling thru and saw this . My heart hurts for you as I’ve certainly “ walked in your shoes “ and know and understand the pain . I will be praying for you for comfort, peace, & strength in the days ahead . Just take “ one day at a time “ and claim
Psalm 46:1 as your daily motto : God is your Refuge and Strength and HE
Will carry you thru this difficult time!
With Love, Betty Reece-Byrd
