I'm so sorry to hear of Frank's passing.....I didn't know any of you, but I knew your Dad. When we first moved to Providence, within the first few years, I started hanging out at Floyd Dean's then, now Grissom Grocery and Grill. Frank would come in regularly. We started talking the first time I saw him in camo.....I'd always wanted to learn to Turkey hunt and we just started talking and he taught me regularly for a few years. Then we started hunting together from time to time....he's the only person who taught me how to Turkey hunt and I will always be grateful for that and his friendship.....God bless you guys and Frank.

To the Boyd family, I am so sorry to hear about your daddy. He was my sister's (Sadie Grissom) next door neighbor for a long, long time. He was always such a good neighbor, bringing her vegetables, etc out of his garden. She thought the world of him. The neighborhood will not be the same without him there and I am sure the "guys" will miss their card games every week. May God bless all of you in this time of sorrow.

I am sorry to hear of Frank's passing.  Frank and I worked together years ago at Vocational Rehabilitation in Butner.  I ran into him again at the GAP about 15 years ago.  Thank you, David, for walking with him.  Your dad was a good man. He loved all of you and missed "Charlie" so much.  I would tease him about being a "Duke" fan!!  You will be missed.
