Who could have ever known this would lead to one of the Greatest Love Stories of all time!
Robert Frank arrived in Chicago and went on a date with Laura, had a wonderful time but left to go back to Colorado. Robert Frank would call and talk with her; he just could not get her out of his mind. Then one night Robert Frank was out on a date with another girl (Blonde) he pulled the car over and called the other woman from a phone booth and asked her to Marry him! This shocked Laura as it was 3:00 AM in Chicago but it really shocked Robert Frank as the proposal came out before he even realized it, that's how crazy in love with herhe was. Lucky for Robert Frank, she said yes. Her mom Susan was thrilled but Robert Frank had to sweat a little to get her dad Johns approval.
Robert Frank and Laura were married March 7, 1957 at 1:45 AM at the home of Ray Wilson and Jessie B Speer in Denver Colorado. 9 months later the couple welcomed their 1st child Robert Frank Speer Jr. This was a wonderful surprise as Laura and Robert Frank were told by doctors, they would not be able to have children. But God knew what amazing parents Robert Frank and his wife would be and blessed them with 8 healthy beautiful and oftentimes challenging children.
Soon after they married Robert Frank became a Baptist preacher. Preaching the word of God and leading people to Christ was one of the most gratifying and humbling things he did as a man and servant of God.
Robert Frank always worked hard to provide for Laura and their continually growing family. Whatever money Robert Frank made his wife with her Golden touch, stretching every penny further than imaginable allowed them to purchase their 1st home and all homes they would buy over the years. Robert Frank always made sure Laura and his children had what they needed.
Throughout his life Robert Frank had many friends, Neighbors, Church friends and Co-workers. He treasured each of these relationships and made sure everyone he cared for was certain of his love for them.
Anyone who knew Robert Frank knew of his love for Old Cowboys!
Robert Frank had a passion for the Lone Ranger, listening to the old radio shows, watching the TV series, and remastered DVD's. Robert Frank spent hundreds of hours with his cowboy collection of movies and enjoyed sharing many of the details of these shows/movies with family and friends!
One of Robert Franks final wishes was to make certain everyone in his life had accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior. He wanted no doubt everyone would be joining him in heaven.
If you have not been saved as a final gift to yourself and Robert Frank, we ask that you bow your head and accept Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord and Savior.
