Franklin was a gem for a friend. You knew he had your back; but he would also tell you were wrong about something and got u to rethink the issue. We met at an EMT Class in the early 80's. When he joined the NC Highway Patrol and excelled over the years moved out of the county; When you did see him again he was that same friend you met years ago
