Frank Arthur believed that Jesus was the Son of God and that He died for our sins.
A man of many talents, Frank Arthur was a professional painter, a brick and block mason as well as a (long distance) truck driver. He rated his work ethic as #1 because he always gave his best effort so that his work reflected and honored “the one” who gave him the ability to use it.
Frankie Poole loved to fish and usually brought home the catch of the day. His favorite expression which gave him bragging rights for his success was his determination to “catch ‘em all!” He also loved to cook.
Although he enjoyed life itself, he knew the day would come when his life would end. On Sunday,
Oct. 2, 2022, Frank Arthur Poole was called from earthly time to time eternal.
