Frank C. Patterson, has made a mark for many of us to follow. He was truly a parachute packer, some one who gave of themselves asking nothing in return, the parachute packer is well presented in a tape called ” Who Packed your Parachute”, Doctor James Dobson-focus on the family. He always had give out gifts, at his shop, always published our Veterans Day Program, asking nothing in return, we will miss you Frank Patterson RIP.
Frankie, I’m so sorry to see you gone so soon. No one can replace you in the community and I know Connie, your kids and grandkids will be lost without you. You can’t help but wonder why good men like you are taken, leaving some really bad ones to continue to reek havoc here on earth. Rest In Peace my friend and thank you for taking good care of Connie all these years.
