Franklin was a good man and wonderful uncle. Many of my favorite childhood memories involve him. He really convinced me once or twice he would throw me into the tall trees at grandmas house and I tell kids the same lines he used on me still. He will be dearly missed. I hope he’s hunting the largest buck he has even seen.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Karnes family. We enjoyed our time with Franklin whether at the bowling alley or just visiting at chance meetings. Franklin was a very special person. He will be greatly missed.
