We were PALs & ran around together in Amboy Illinois. Frankie was my best friend during the time he, his Dad, & Mom lived there. They moved back to Detroit in 66 & I lived with them during the summer of 67 during the Detroit riots. He was funny & always in a goid moid. He was very brave. I was with him when enlisted in the Marines. I tried too but I was under age & Mom wouldn't sign the papers. I loved him like a Brother. I eventually enlist in the Marines after a stint in the Army. Frankie & I would talk at times but never seen one another again in person. I regret that. He died for something he believed in & gave his life for his city & country. It was a great privilege to have known & be in his presence. God Bless you Frankie. I'll be relieving you on duty one day guarding the streets of Heaven. Semper Fi Brother!

You just popped into my mind Uncle Frankie. When I think of what sacrifice you made with your life for Detroit I am blown away by your bravery. Growing up as you know, I spent many summers with you and my grandpa and your mother. I learned how disgusting buttermilk is, how to tell the difference between fried chicken and fried rabbit and my all time favorite learning experience has to be how you taught me how easily a common firefly could be captured, and along with about 10 of its friends and relatives and with a simple twist of its back side we could take the rear ends of the flies and place them into a mason jar and there you have it, a non-battery operated flashlight of sort.

You were always funny, fearless and fascinating to be around but more importantly you were unforgettable . I wish we had more summers together but sadly, we had to grow up and move on with our lives...

You will NEVER be forgotten Frankie...
Love you always,

My faithful servant.
You were called upon to serve others.
You were asked to see, what no man should ever have to see.
To go through, what no man should ever have to go through.
But you did so with pride, honor, and integrity.

My faithful servant.
You were called upon to defend those, who could not defend themselves.
To provide justice to those, who did not respect it.
To lay down your life, if the time called for it.
Again, you did not question what was asked of you.
You did it with love, compassion, and loyalty.

My faithful servant.
In times of adversity, you prayed for strength.
In times of triumph, you praised your Lord.
You served your Country, State, and city proud.
Your service will forever be remembered by the many lives you’ve touched.

My faithful servant.
When your service on this earth is finally complete.
I will welcome you home with open arms.
I will embrace you and proclaim,
“Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

I have very little memory of my mother's cousin, Frankie, as I was 8 years old when he passed. I vividly remember the media attention and the funeral. Both my mother and my father (Dennis and Dee Dee) were very fond of him, tell stories of his wild humor and still have THOR from his dashboard. I now work for the Roseville Police Department in Minnesota and have a new appreciation and respect for his bravery, courage, and dedication. We will be sure to raise a toast in his honor at Grandma Evelyn (Jack) Walls' 90th Birthday Party in Traverse City, MI this October.

Uncle Frankie, My father died back in 2003, and now Mom, your sister Patricia Walls-Lidzbarski-Olsen, is gone as of August 5, 2011. She was laid to rest in a cool, quiet pond in Michigan. Im sure you two are together, and quite glad to finally be brother and sister again, up "there". I miss my young years, and memories with you, and am always proud to share, just how much you impacted the community, as well as us who shared our lives together, with you. Rest in heavenly Peace.

Boy little brother, we're getting old .... but you are still there in my mind eveyday. I really could use some of that humor you always had now-a-days. It's hard getting old, but I look to the day we will be united again as family. Miss you Frankie. Miss seeing Holly too. love you always. Gloria

Frank,
You were my husband's partner and good friend for many years. I still have vivid memories of you sitting in the rocking chair in my living room looking with wonder at our twin boys when they were babies - in the year before you died. You made me laugh so much with your crazy sense of humor!
Those twin boys are now 25 years old, one is a Police Officer and the other is a Lieutenant in the US Marine Corps. I wish you were still here to see how they turned out - they would have loved you too!

IT WAS MY PLEASURE KNOWING, WORKING, AND TRAINING WITH OFFICER FRANK WALLS AS A MEMBER OF THE DETROIT POLICE SPECIAL RESPONSE TEAM. OFFICER WALLS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
