The following poem written by his daughter Flo Erickson:
"DAD"
Our father was a farmer
A wise and gentle man,
A shepherd to his flocks
A husband and a friend.
He loved his God
He loved his land
He loved us everyone,
His chair in empty now
Two in my mind
I see him sitting there
I hear his voice
And feel his touch
And know he's everywhere
Now heaven's gates swing wide
And many welcome him
So farewell, Dad, Grandpa, Uncle Frank,
Our loss is heaven's gain
