I am so saddened and surprised to learn of Franklin's passing.  He and I always visited when he walked down W. 23rd if I was out working in the yard, usually going to his mother's home.  I will miss our visits.  My heart goes out to your losing a son and brother.

I went to high school with Franklin. Loved his humor and smile. Enjoyed running into him later in life. Still the same humor which had me doubled over in laughter. I am saddened about his passing. My condolences to his wonderful family.

Franklin and I were on the AFS exchange together.  We were a group of just 5 students from the US that were hosted in Northern Ireland.  We travelled frequently on the AFS side trips and the 5 of us because very close.  I have great memories of all of the adventures we had that year - he is gone too soon, but I am grateful for just knowing him.
