Frankie always had a smile, a kind word and an amazing hug! He was the first person to call me Sis and always said it with Love. He was one of the good ones and will be greatly missed.

Frank Sherman was a name that was almost a daily ingredient in the conversations with my parents for many years. They became friends with Jo and Frank through Horse Racing. There are oh so many wonderful memories I have of Frank and my Dad (Victor Bickler) on the “backside”. I am sorry for his families loss. Frank always talked so proudly of his children. I am sorry for his family

He brought the greatest happiness for me with his horse racing One time his horse won at the races at the old fairgrounds,and Pat and Sue and I went down to the winner's circle for a photo with him. I know he financially helped members of our huge extended family. Good guy Godspeed,Uncle Frankie!

We had many years of nights of watching Central basketball and football, sitting with Frank, John, and Matt and Margaret. Sharing stories, popcorn, and chips and cheese, Frank and Al had a lot in common with their mutual love for working with horses. He will be missed. Because of our age and Al's handicap unfortunately we won't be able to attend the services. Al and Judy Tucker

Spending my summers at the track with my Grandma and Grandpa (Vic and Irene Bickler) Frank was never far away. He was always so kind and fun to be around. He will forever be in my memory with that huge smile that was always on his face. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends, a great loss indeed.
