Born on February 23, 1947 in Bruce, MS, Frank was the second of three sons born to the late William Wayne Tutor and Martha Idella James Tutor. After graduating from Bruce High School in 1965 where he was a proud member of the football and baseball teams, Frank, served in the United States Air Force from 1965-1968 discharged as a Sargent E-4 rank. Frank had a charismatic personality, strong work ethic, and entrepreneurial mindset. As a business man he worked in upper management in lumber mills, owned an industrial components business, and owned businesses in furniture manufacturing for over 20 years. Frank was a trusted Ole Miss fan, avid golfer, an experienced crappie fisherman, quail and pheasant hunter, a thoroughbred horse owner, a cattleman with some ostriches for good measure, and a friend to anyone and everyone. He was a member of Belden Baptist Church. Frank married his high school sweet- heart in 1967. They raised two children and shared 53 years of a loving marriage.
