Condolence: I meet Jack some 50 years ago with my move with family to Dalton. I was fortunate to be on his bowling team and we where golf partners in the Thursday night league. Jack was a wonderful person to be with. He was always smiling and completely relaxed under all situations.He did play a nice game of golf. I'll always remember his friendship.

Condolence: What the world needs today is more Jack Franklins. He was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known.

Condolence: Mr Franklin was Principal the four years I went to Wahconah Regional. He was a consummate professional, a very kind descent and patient man who you could always talk to. We couldn't have asked for anyone who cared more about our welfare. I was proud to have known him. My deepest & heartfelt condolences to his family.

Condolence: My life has been so enriched from having known Jack Franklin since he hired me to teach at Wahconah in 1968. He was a man of great intellect and achievements. Moreover, he had great devotion and took great pride both in his family and his job. He was not only a gentleman, but also a "gentle man". I'll never forget him.

Condolence: What a wonderful, wonderful, human being. As our Principal for the DHS class of 1958 he was a beacon of knowledge and influence on how best to guide our lives going forward. I was fortunate to have been in Jack's company several times over the past almost 60 years since we left DHS. On each occasion he would always recognize me and ask how I was doing and ask about my family. My favorite moment was, maybe, 20 years ago or so, when I was playing in the Wahconah Little Brown Jug golf tournament with my brother Rick. As we finished the 18th hole on the last day, Jack was waiting behind the green to greet me and say hey Dave - how are you doing? That was my best moment of the week.

Condolence: What a wonderful presents Mr. Franklin was in the halls of WRHS. Our deepest sympathy. Mike and Mimi Dolphin

Condolence: Jack was the consummate gentleman - a gentle man who shared his knowledge, concern, enthusiasm and fellowship with students, faculty, staff and the Dalton community. Peg and Elmer Allen, my parents, thought the world of him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Please take good care of yourselves - and each other.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are sent out to members of Jack's family. He was a beloved member of the Dalton and Wahconah high schools for many years. May he rest in peace!

Condolence: Jack was a longtime valuable member of the DILLY BOYS golf league at Wahconah. He contributed greatly to our enjoyment (about golf as well as other topics) He was a continuous student of the game and always tried to improve his game. He has been missed at the golf course and will be remembered by many of us.

Condolence: Mark and family- I'm sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was always a "gentle"man.

Condolence: Thank you, Jean, for remembering my family as a part of Jack's extended family. There is no place we should be on Thursday but with you all. I am heartened to know it will be so.
