George Franks

PABLO – George Allen Franks, age 79, passed away on Monday, March 6, 2017, at Polson Health and Rehabilitation Center of health complications. He was born on May 4, 1937, in Polson to Everett and Ann (McTaggart) Franks.

He attended high school in Polson, only completing three years before joining the military. George may not have been book smart, but he could always teach you a thing or two about things.

George joined the U.S. Navy and spent many years aboard ships. He retired honorably as a Boatwains Mate First Class on July 31, 1976.

He married Bonnie Ann McCormick on March 1, 1969. They spent 39 years together until Bonnie passed away in 2008.

His wife, Bonnie; two sisters, Alma and Donna; and his parents, Everett and Ann, precede him in death.

George’s son, James P. Franks; his sister, Vera Utzke; four grandchildren, Craig, Curtis, Caitlyn and James, survive him. George loved all of his grandkids and great-grandkids, even though he may have hollered all the time.

We miss you George.

At his request, no services will be held. He didn’t want anyone fussing over him.
