Knowing that my dear friend (dad) is gone really hurt, but l know God is a healer, Frank was a great man of wisdom and humor, he gave me and our grandchildren nicknames the first time he me all of us we loved him dearly. I often visited their home and he'd tell Ann his wife don't cook until l left, then he'd offer me a soda and a honeybun. We sincerely loved Franklin Berry and will miss him.
