Beverly Rose lit a candle in memory of Franklin York

I remember Franklin well from First Baptist Church, Salem, NH as a very willing volunteer in whatever project that was going on. I also remember him when he got a bonus at work for coming up with an idea that saved the company a bunch of money and I think he gave most if not all to the church and many of the parishioners he thought could use a boost. I remember he drove all the way to my home in Virginia to offer me a portion of it which I refused as I didn't feel right about taking it. He was a great Christian guy and a wonderful Jesus type family man. He and his wife Joanne were a great team. He will be missed and not just by his great family. Karen and I are praying for peace for this family, Bill and Karen MacDermod
Franklin was always the "Go-To-Guy" when I was principal of Salem Christian School. He could fix anything that was broken. He was not only a hard worker but a wonderful friend to me and my husband John. May the Lord fill the hole that has been left by his transition to the Lord with happy memories of his life. His mission on Earth has ended and he is with his Lord and Savior. Praying the Lord is comforting Joanne, Jennifer and Jeff.
There is a huge hole at the back of our church where Franklin sat and made sure all things worked right. He always had a smile for everyone and a big hug for me. I will miss those hugs and the comfort they brought. I knew he always had me, my family and my sister held up in prayer. So loved and missed !!!!! Evie
Always a smile from Franklin when I saw him at church. What an awesome man. I will miss you Franklin but will see you again! We will watch over Joanne for you! In Christ, Nancy Emerick
