    Default Frank Lawheads Message


    This is Frank Lawheads Daughter-in Law Crystal (or Christie as Frank called me) He told me that when he passed to get on his computer and he would have things in files for me. Today I found the file "Christie" with his user name and password for Crappie.com and what he wanted his final post to be. He wanted you all to know, because he knew you would be wondering, that he went to buy minnows. Thank you all for the hours of enjoyment and laughs you gave him.

    Many of you know and have helped with the Frank Lawhead Memorial and here is the updated information.

    As most of you know we lost one of our own on December 31st. He will be greatly missed by all of us. His wishes were to be cremated. Instead of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the United Special Sportsman’s Alliance. Just go to their website and click on "Donate". You can earmark the contributions for Frank and Brigid knows where the funds will go. This is a non-profit organization that helps special needs children get into the great outdoors. We are planning on giving several guide trips to these needy children to allow them to catch a fish; many for their first time...all in Frank's name. He truly loved to fish and this way he can help others enjoy it as well.

    The website is United Special Sportsman's Alliance

    Frank was one of the nicest fisherman I have met. I got the pleasure of meeting him several years ago on Reelfoot lake. He will be missed for sure.

    Gonna miss Frank very much. I have met him several times over the years. I am sure sorry that I did not know this earlier. It has brought a tear to my eye knowing that Frank is no longer there to encourage me to be a big mouth that I am. Rest in peace Frank. Miss you buddy.

    There are a couple USSA sites out there, it can be confusing. Below is a direct link to the one for Frank's donations (plus phone number and address information).

    I just tried to do it and had an issue trying to "earmark it". I was going to donate on behalf of Crappie.com. I'll see if there's a problem with it and let you know when I contribute successfully. I just could not see a place to earmark it. Of course you could always send something through the mail to the address below as well.

    Thanks Crystal, and thank's to Mark Lawhead too. Mark and Steve Welch have both been in contact with me about this memorial fund. I understand Steve Welch is donating some Guided Trips for USSA Children. Thanks Steve, it's a good cause.

    We will miss seeing Franks posts here on Crappie.com. May he rest in peace, on that big pond in the sky, you know the one, the one with all the 3-4lb Crappie. We'll see you there some day Frank.


    Here's the link:

    yes, the site URL is childswish.com

    UPDATE: I spoke with Brigid, she said, if you donate through the "Donate" link on their website via Paypal, also follow up with an Email to her at [email protected]. Include your name and the fact that the donation is on behalf of Frank Lawhead.

    I did not have the pleasure of meeting Frank, but he was the first person to respond to my first question posted here, which was coincidentally, where to buy minnows at Lake Shelbyville. I really enjoyed his sense of humor displayed here on C.C, and will miss his interaction. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.
