FRANKLIN, CHARLES ROBERT - age 87, of Seymour, passed away Saturday, September 19, 2009 at the family home. He was a faithful servant to his Lord and was a member of New Era Baptist Church in Sevierville where he served as a deacon for almost 60 years and had many friends. From the cradle, his children were taught to love the Lord, each other, and friends. Many in the community considered him to be like a father to them. His family was his gold. He would comb over hair and get the children ready for church on Sunday mornings, while mom got breakfast. All the while he would sing hymns to us. He sang in everything he did. He was a carpenter all his life except for the time he worked on the Manhattan Project. He has now gone to be with the Master Carpenter. "Well done my good and faithful servant". He was preceded in death by his wife, Lois Ailene Franklin; sons, Art Sylvester Franklin and Connie Franklin; parents, Ernest and Cordia Belle Franklin; brother, Haskell Franklin; sister, Reva Strange.
