I sooo sorry to hear the news! I was hoping for the chance to work with Frank (or Ezra as he liked to be called) again. He was a kind and generous person who loved what we were doing in the drone business! He’ll be greatly missed!
Wow! I have lost one of my oldest friends, 2nd grade. So many thought we were brother an sister and we were there for each other many times growing up. We had a blast exploring the Little Rock Airport during the time we were in the Civil Air Patrol. Partners in crime, bicycling 8 miles to swim in the river with friends. Always a smile, I will miss knowing I could reach out and he would listen to my problems, making them easier to face. My brother from another mother.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
David and Susan Ruen
We remember Frank well as we played volleyball together at the YMCA in Mason City, Iowa. Although we had not seen him in ages we still have fond memories of that time! Rest in peace Frank! Our sympathy to the family!
I’m so sorry of my hearing of Franks passing, I am his first cousin Bernice, I treasure the good times at our family reunions.
I will miss him very much. Bernice Yeargan & Grady Barton
