Frank was a man that loved his family and fur babies. He enjoyed spending time at our mountain cabin in Suches,GA.

He even got his wife to start hunting and together they shared many happy memories. He is a man that loved to cook and loved cooking for his family and friends. When he started making candy he named it "Suches Smiles Candy" because he said when he watches people eat it there was always a smile on their face.

Tributes
"Sorry to learn of the passing of Frank. I first met Frank when he opened a small gun shop on Currahee Street in Toccoa. A skilled craftsman and artisan with wood or metal. Always enjoyed his conversation and tried to absorb just a little bit of his gunsmithing knowledge. May God give you the peace and understanding only He can give as you celebrate the life of this good man. AJ Pavliscsak, GSP 690R"
