When I use to work at the bank Mr Hensley and his son Allen would stop by with their payroll checks and he would bring us chocolate milk from Pet Dairy. He was always such a kind person and always had a smile on his face.

You'll be missed, Frankie. I'll always remember that smiling face, especially when we were parking cars over at Carters Valley at the Fire Department. Those were fun days. Rest in peace.
