Our prayers continue for you and you family, Diane. It was indeed an honor and a pleasure to have known Doc first as that engaged and energetic extern; then as a physician associate during my years as an allied health professional who was indeed a pleasure to work with. But even more, to have known him outside the professional world as the father of one of our son's friends and classmates is a gift to be truly thankful for. This community and the world are both better for his having been a part of it. Thank you.

I think our son, Lee, has always reacted with the best testament to Dr. Franklin and his legacy. Every time I ever (past or present) mention Dr. Franklin or his son Andrew to Lee (Lee and Andrew were classmates) his response is a broad grin and a chuckle, usually followed by a funny story. Lee and "Drew" are grown men now but I still get the same response from Lee when Dr. and/or son come up in conversation. Diane, you and Chris have a wonderful legacy in your kids and grandkids. Heartfelt wishes for peace for you and the whole family today and in the days ahead.

Dear Diane and Family.... So sad to hear that Dr Chris passed. Prayers and thoughts are sent your way. I first met Dr Chris in 1984 when he treated me in his office on a Saturday morning for broken ribs from a fall in a boat. I will never forget the special treatment that I received that morning. As the Health Services Coordinator for the Camdenton School District I called on him for assistance whenever I needed his advice and services. So many years he performed bus driver and athletic physicals and served on our advisory committee. He was so special and always willing to serve. He will truly be missed by all who knew him but especially by me.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Chris was a wonderful person who cared deeply about everything. I remember babysitting little Chris, and big Chris being home, but on call, thus the need for me. I always enjoyed visiting with him. I also remember Chris hiring me to clean the house before Diane came home with little Andrew. Tidyness was not his forte! Thx for sharing this wonderdul man with all of us. Ibwad blessed to know him. My prayers will be with you all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Dr. Chris was a wonderful man. He took care of me for almost 30 years. He was always very kind and compassionate.
We both spent time bragging on our grandchildren. He always asked about my family.
I would occasionally bring him a bag of bubble gum. Made him smile every time!!
He will be missed!!!

My condolences to the family of Chris. I was good friends with Chris at Northeast Missouri State University. Chris was a class act kind of guy. Always considerate of others regardless of their situation. When traveling through, I stopped by his office about 25 years ago. I could easily hear his welcoming deep voice coming down the hallway when he knew I was in the lobby. I feel fortunate of knowing Chris. There was much good about Chris for family and friends to look up to in life. Thank you Chris! May God be with you and your family! David Bell, Columbus, Nebraska

Mrs. Franklin and family...I am very sorry your loss, Chris was a very good man. My grandparents were good friends of Swede and Ruby and when we moved to the lake they welcomed us. They were so proud of him. I worked at the Lake hospital for several years, and we were able to share stories of our growing families
My heart breaks for you and your family. He touched many lives and made a difference in so many lives. He will not be forgotten. God bless you and give you strength for the days ahead.

Dear Diane,
So very shocked and sorry to hear about Chris. Having known him and his family my whole life it is very sad to know he is gone. He was very good to my mom, Adeline, and my brother Kenny when they needed medical attention and outside the office. I want to ask what happened but if that is private I understand. I remember when he had medical issues a few years ago. This is a beautiful obituary of a wonderful man.
Again go very sad for you and your family.
