Saddened to hear.  I first met Frank at Perkins (SMU).  He shared great stories of Joe's teaching to all of us. He really missed Joe.  Joe had just departed for Faith and Life.  Frank was a good basketball player, too; as well as an organizer.  He put together the seminary's intramural team.  He also put me onto a job while I was a student there.  He later was part of some of the courses the New Orleans cadre were putting on, and when Wanda and I showed up on the West Side he was helpful in our getting oriented.  He kept a lot of things rolling on the West Side that kept the mission going.  Always a great story teller with his East Texas drawl, hard to forget.

Condolences to Aimee and Li Lin.

Hope appeareth, but it is not your Hope—you do not have anything to do with it. It just appeareth. It comes as a stranger, as an alien—it just appeareth! You do not even know why you hope. How in the world could you hope when there is absolutely nothing to justify any hope?    ~Joseph W. Mathews

Aimee contacted Carol Pierce saying that Frank passed yesterday of a heart attack. They were at his Texas home. The funeral will be held there among his family friends perhaps as early as tomorrow. At a later date, a memorial service will be held in Chicago. As more information will be posted once it becomes known.

Grace and peace,

Terry
