Don Franklin, 62, business leader and community visionary, passes away

"I'll dream with you," Don Franklin told Columbia's mayor; and he
backed that statement with hard work and dedication to God and family

The loss of Don Franklin will be immeasurable for Adair and surrounding counties. His pragmatism, business acumen, and work ethic made his family a major force in the economic fortunes of South Central Kentucky.

An automobile dealer in Columbia for over 40 years, he owned Don Franklin Ford-Mercury, Franklin Nissan, and Frankliin Chevrolet, Pontiac, GMC in Russell Springs, KY.

A driving ambition took him from the little boy who slept on a booth in the G & M Grill while his mother finished work in the kitchen there in the 1950s, to being a top automobile dealer and a dominant player in insurance, finance, and real estate. With his wife Barbara he raised sons Eddie and Dan, who have followed in their father's footsteps. With their wives and five sons between them, Don Franklin's dreams will live on.

Remembering Don Franklin: He will be greatly missed

PHOTO
Don was a good friend of my late father, Homer Goodin. We have had many dealings with the the Franklins while my family was in business as M & W Milling Co. Don Franklin was always straight forward and to the point. You knew where he stood as he knew what we anted and could afford. He bent over backwards to help us in the purchase of our delivery trucks and personal vehicles when purchased there.

He will be greatly missed. As a classmate of Eddie and Dan Franklin, I know that they will carry on the great traditon. Don will never be gone as long as Eddie and Dan are around. My prayers are with them.
