Franklin (Tooter) Leroy Trollinger

Frank Leroy Trollinger, 76, of Siloam Springs, Arkansas passed away at the Circle Of Life Hospice in Springdale, AR on January 1, 2022.

Frank was born on July 30, 1946 in Fayetteville AR to Louis and Clara Trollinger. He married the love of his life Linda Trollinger on January 10, 1975 in Fayetteville. For many years and many millions of miles he spent behind the steering wheel of an 18 wheeler. He was a great provider for his family even if it meant missing a lot of family function. But soon as he was home you had every minute and every second of his time. He drove for 50 years and spent 30 years of that with Wal-Mart Transportation. After retiring you would find him on Grand Lake with a fishing pole in his hands catching anything that would bite. He loved to go hunting with his son and grandsons. Don’t forget those grandbabies and great grandbabies that brought so much joy and love to his heart. He now has a silver boat that sparkles, a rod and reel made of gold, and the fish will always bite.

He was preceded in death by his parents Louis and Clara Trollinger, one son Harold
Happy, Brother James Trollinger and in-law John and Cledith Hudson.
