What a wonderful man. Creative mind. Sorry you lost your son, Chris, sir. He's waiting in heaven for the rest of us. Love Frank's personal touches for the smallest feathered friends amongst us. Until our next adventure. Drive safe. Ya'll come back now.
Thank you Mel.
Frank is just great! He's donna be missed one day! Thanks for this and Jamie, Mel!
Love his houses, would love to have one in my yard!
another awesome video !!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. This man made me want to move back to Texas.
Good story. Well done JB. I certainly admire Frank!
Well done, Jamie! and well done, Frank! I enjoyed your video very much. What age is Frank, Jamie? I'm 88, and he's about the same, I guess. Good luck for the future, friends!
Really enjoyed this story about this man and his love for birds. He had some very nice looking bird houses. Very sad that he lost his son.
Awesome story !!
Really enjoyed this story!
Thanks for sharing his story. Love the birdhouses and wished that he shipped. Special tribute to his son and what was lost to him and others - would like to have seen some of his work. This fellow found the perfect 'job replacement' that he could enjoy in life!
Enjoyed this video very much. Beautiful job sir. Had tears in my eyes when he talked about his son Chris that died of lung cancer that worked with him. And destroying the birds habitat by building houses every where..Good story.
Enjoyed this & be nice to get one of his houses!
