The Rhett family, what an absolute tribute to Frank tonight!! I truly believe I may have crossed paths, or at least seen from a glance, every person I know or ever knew, that I grew up with in Charleston. And being the youngest of five, that is a lot of people!! I hope it comforts you all to know how special he was to so many people.

I was saddened to hear about Frank. It has been awhile since I've seen
him; 15 years or so when he was last in Nantucket. He was always fun to
be around; until he took his socks off!!!
He was a helpfull friend when I was living down there and great to go
hunting with. Peace and love Charles

Dear Rhett family. I am sorry to here that Frank Jr went home this week. I have thought about the family often. I truly enjoyed working with everyone before the birth of my daughter 19 years ago. Thanks for the wonderful friendships. May the Lord be with you during this difficult time.

Frank and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. We were blessed to have him come to a dove shoot last season with his son at Bugby.

Frank was a great guy that will certainly be missed by the Charleston boating community. He sold me my first motor 25 or so years ago when he worked at the dealer off of highway 61. From then on, he was the only person I trusted in the boat buisness. He gave me some great advice, even to the point of telling me not to buy a product that he sold, but to keep what I had. I'm sure that Noah is listening to him now.

Our Deepest Sympathy to all of you during this difficult time. We loved Frankie! We waited for he and his friends to come to North Dakota to hunt every October. We always had a big "Cook Out" at our house with "Frankie" as the head cook. He loved cooking up fish, shrimp, duck and grits for us North Dakota folks. What a wonderful man. Always so jolly and always with a smile.

He will surely be missed by all. Again, our Deepest Sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
