My memories are many as I have Known uncle Frank most of my life. I remember the wonderful barbecues at Highbury Road. More than anything Uncle Frank was always there, always encouraging, and a source of wonderful stories and knowledge. From his home brew to astronomy 🔭 his passions were varied and many. We will miss him greatly but as his loyalty and faithfulness to Jehovah and upholding his di reign tu we are guaranteed to see him very soon. It’s hard for you Aunty Aileen and Sarah and Ruth but it’s for a very short period in time. We are thinking about you and keep you in our prayers. I’m sorry we can’t be with you physically but here in a Italy we will listen to his memorial talk.
Thank you so much Tracey and Aunty Pauline . You were a huge part of our lives growing up. Such lovely words xxx

Hi Aileen , Sarah and Ruth like others have said , I was very saddened to hear Frank had died . Like many I have good memories of growing up alongside your family in Birmingham. Although many of us have moved away from each other and life has taken us in many directions over the years we are all tied together through our faith in Jehovah and his firm promises for the future . My memories of those days are still as bright as if they were yesterday, even though like many I can’t recall what I did yesterday. May you all stay safe and remember you are loved by many both near and far xxx . Love to you all John and Tracy Greenhall
