My dear brother-in-law is missed as much today as ever. He will forever be in many people's hearts. The mold was broken and no one can ever take his place.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Ashley teach me my senior year in high school. He was the student teacher assigned to Mrs. Boozer at Newberry High School. He made Shakespeare and every other lesson interesting for all of us. I also had the pleasure of having his father teach me in college and of knowing his family. He was so talented even then. I was sorry to hear of his passing. It is a loss for his local community and all of South Carolina and beyond. He is missed.

I had the pleasure of being a student of Dr. Ashley at USC in the late 70's. Dr. Ashley is one of the few professors that had a profound impact on my education. He was such a passionate educator and the love for what he did was evident everyday in the classroom.
As I continue in my 35th year of education, I can only hope that I display to my students the love and passion for teaching that Dr. Ashley so genuinely displayed each and everyday. Thoughts and prayers to the family. R.I.P. Dr. Ashley!

Uncle Franklin..What a great man he was. I will remember all the times when I was practicing my piano lessons..he would come over and listen and then he would take Any song any kind of music and make it jazzy..show me an alternate ending to play. He wasnt only smart but he was funny and very hip dude. I loved his laugh. R.I.P. Franklin.see you again one day.

A wonderfully talented fellow, so friendly and companionable one often hardly noticed until deep into a conversation with him.
