I'm am so sorry to hear of uncle Franks passing. One of my fondest childhood memories is of him was at my uncle Dan's and aunt Sarah's wedding when he asked me to dance. It was the first time I had ever been asked to dance by anyone. Boy could he bust a move (smile).
For those interested I posted uncle Franks obit on my Family History blog here http://rosie-cotton.blogspot.com/2010/12/frank-s-adkins-obituary.html
I would love for whom ever posted this memorial to contact me, and anyone interested in our genealogy as well please do. You can also contact me through my blog via comments.
God bless you all

We were so saddened to read of Frank's passing. He and Teeny were good friends of ours years ago. Frank was the treasurer of Tom's House of Delegates campaign in 1990. He was "good people" We send our deepest sympathy to the family.
