In 1968, I moved my family to Savannah to work with Mr. Dow at the West Broad St. Firestone Store. We have shared a lot over the years, phone calls, Christmas cards, visits to Savannah to eat lunch at Carey Hillards with Mr. Dow, Ray Lanier, and Leslie. He loved to tease me about the politicians in SC. He was a dear friend for many years and we are going to miss him.

I was very sorry to hear of Mr. Dow's passing. He was a very good colleague of my father and a trusted friend of both my mother and father. They talked often of Frank's visits to the mountains and how much it meant to them. In my meetings with him I came to appreciate the same qualities they saw - a wonderfully lively, caring person. He's made us all a bit better I think.

My deepest condolences! I took care of Frank for the last 2 years of his life. He was a very sweet man and was able to bond, care, and love a young lady who was sometimes bossy for his own good! But also less than half his age! Maybe I knew a side of him that no one ever saw and I'm privileged! I love you Frank and will fondly miss all our time together! You definitely lived like the Sinatra song says! I did it my way! Find peace in heaven....but remember God isn't going to let you boss HIM around! Lol love always Leslie Ferguson! My #1 guy!
