Mr. Franks, who grew up on Yosemite Drive, was a graduate of Libbey High School. In recent years, he and his wife belonged to a book discussion group. He enjoyed especially taking nature walks and going camping with sons Andre, 17, and Aaron, 7. "He spent so much time with them; that's what's going to be hardest," his wife said.
