Thomas W. Franke

Tom made a difference in business and in his life. His family was all to him but part of his family was everyone at Wallace Press. Renee and I are proud to call him a friend and associate and Rosemary a member of the Wally family. God bless the Franke family. Bob and Renee Cronin

I had the pleasure of working with Tom at Wallace for many years. His sense of humor was ever present, and although he was a senior executive, he always treated everyone with warmth and respect - seemed like he was just one of the guys - just more lively and funnier. Blessings to Judy and Dennis and the rest of Tom's loved ones.

I will miss Tom. He was a great friend, always asking how I was doing and how Jerry was. Tom and I were both readers. We both liked the same authors and Tom supplied me with so many books. After he read them he would date and initial them and I would do the same. And I know his favorite pie was cherry. Tom was one of the really “good guys”. I will never forget you Tom.

Our warmest condolences.
