Franklin Lee Tatro

Franklin Lee Tatro was born on September 21, 1933 and went to his eternal home on February 2, 2020.
He grew up in Zenda, KS. Later, he worked at Pratt Well Service and in the oil fields around Pratt, KS. He married Patsy (Montgomery) Moore. They later divorced.

 'Frankster' walked softly and wore a loud shirt.    He accepted life on life's terms.  With 40 years of continuous sobriety he shared his experience, strength, and hope helping many on the path to serenity in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. He will be missed but his legacy will live on through his wise words and ancedotes.

He lived in Port Aransas, TX for many years and loved the warm weather, the beach and his many friends. He moved to Topeka, KS in 2013

He is survived by his children Angela Lewis (Gary) Topeka, KS, Curtis Tatro (Tom) Dallas, TX, Annalisa Tatro Baltimore, MD and De Brauher (Roger) Pratt, KS. He had one grandson, Devin Locke of Manhattan, KS. He is also survived by two sisters, Reatha Clark of Pratt and Louise Gould of Stafford. Frank was preceded in death by his parents and four brothers, Ed, Dick, Clem and Bill Tatro.
