Terrell "Butch" Glenn Franklin

Shelly,
Im sorry to hear of your dads passing, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this tough time. yvette

I'll never forget the last visit to Beaumont and going to eat crawfish with Uncle Butch and his brother (my day) Wallace. We were looking to eat BBQ crab but they were out, Butch said those crawfish were such "little bitty things". So sad to hear of his passing, wish we all could have lived closer together, our condolences to Shelly and Glenn. I know he's in a better place with Aunt Pat and Dad, PaPa & Maw maw Lila. Love to All, Dirk, Kathy & Ben Franklin

Butch would always introduce me as "his tennis coach". I first met Butch at the Oak Park tennis courts in Lake Charles in 1979. I was teaching the summer lessons for the city and Butch was learning the to play. Then I had an on-campus interview with GSU and who was there but my friend Butch Franklin. Got the job and have been a friend for 33 years. Blessing and prayers to the family.

The daughters of Charles Glass are sending you prayers of peace during this time of grief. Our Dad's were great friends from their years at Gulf States, golf, and through the golden years of retirement. We like to think Dad welcomed Butch to heaven.
Jennifer, Rebecca, and Stephanie

What an intensly sad moment for me to learn of the passing
of my friend and neighbor, Butch. We lived only four houses apart, so we spent a great deal of time together, playing ball, studying, riding the school bus, attending Calvary Baptist and
playing on their city championship softball team (He was a great 2nd baseman and hitter) on which George Barclay was the pitcher, Wendell Hobbs was catcher, Byron Ward was first basement, Paul Sternenberg was 3rd basement, etc.
We all loved his infectious laugh!!!!
See you later, Butch!!!!!

Shelly, John, and the entire Franklin family...
Our sincerest condolences on the passing of your beloved father, "Butch". We take comfort in knowing that two dear friends passed from this world on the same day and are standing before the gates of heaven together waiting to meet up with their loved ones who have gone before. We hold you dear in our thoughts and prayers and pray for the Lord to bring you peace.

With our deepest sympathy,
Betsy and Jim Lee (Peggy's daughter and son-in-law)

Butch, you will be missed. Your sense of humor and sweet spirit are what I will remember best. It was a pleasure to work with you all those years ago at Gulf States Utilities Co., where to me you were always "Terrell G." God bless you, Terrell G.

My favorite memory with Uncle Butch was when he visited LA and we went to Universal Studios together. We laughed so much together. He had such a marvelous laugh and a joyful heart. I will pray for your comfort as you go through this difficult time. Much Love, Jenya

Laura and I were talking this morning about what a joy it was to be around Butch. He always made us smile and I was lucky enough to have worked with him over the years at GSU. He will be greatly missed.

John,

So sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure knowing your dad and enjoyed conversing with him about the things he loved so much.
