We were next door neighbors to Mark in Clearwater for 9 years. We are saddened at his loss. He was a friendly and caring, considerate neighbor. He was always worried that his motorcycle would disturb us. We shared many happy hours on our back porch and his. Carol & Sandy Andorfer

In 1964 we met the Franklin family after moving to Flora. Don had known Dad, Roy, and Floyd in Michigan. We spent many Sundays at their family dinner table in Clay City eating Doris Franklins delicious meals. We enjoyed the Franklin's, along with Dallas and Bill, with pinochle and laughter on Sunday afternoons, many times. We've spent a lot of years liking all of the Franklins, and felt such sadness with the passing of each members. Mark was always one of a kind, squeezing every minute out of life. He loved Florida, so, my first thought was that he was there his last weeks, I hope his last days were happy in the sand and sunshine. RIP Bucky Franklin
