    Sympathy to all the family. My husband, Fred, was a first cousin, a neighbor and Leroy worked for us when he was young on the farm. I have been trying to contact Franklin but have had no luck – telephone # don’t work and sent a letter with no response. So I called Leroy and left a message. My #402 394-7773 —
