Frankie was one of the most lovable men Kevin & Ive ever had the pleasure of calling friend..despite his illness and obvious pain, Frankie, his daughter Aja & her fiance, and their menagerie of pets were welcoming and gracious, bear hugs and kisses all the way around...
We loved our visits and time spent with Frankie...When he should have been resting, he would jump up, get behind his drum kit, and serenade Kevin and I till he wore us out.. his faithful dog Diesel banging his huge tail to the beat..
there were other dogs too, and kittens..lots of kittens..and family members coming and going..Frankie surrounded himself with life, and lived it to the fullest..
On one visit, I complimented Frankie on a Marshall Tucker t-shirt he was wearing, straight-away he pulled it over his head and insisted I take it..
talk about a give you the shirt off his back kind of guy...
another time, caught me glance at a giant hiking clip he had, I have a silly thing for hiking clips...Frankie pushed it into my hand, insisted I keep it ..It has been in my pocket ever since...silly big hiking clip..worth it weight in gold..
Awhile back I posted to please keep Frankie in our prayers...
a little while later, the phone rang, it was Frankie sounding happy, "guess who i just got off the phone with ?"
Gregg had called....
Gregory, do you see this...a simple phone call between 2 old friends..so simple, so easy..brought so much joy.
To say Frankie Toler will be greatly missed, is the understatement of all time...
His daughter Aja..like a Mother Bear at his side..his wife Marsha...so sweet..Hilarie..Danny, they are all suffering a great loss..I bet ole Deisel is beside himself .. Keeping them all in our prayers...
forgive me for rambling on...Ya'll know how I do..
