MARKLI, FRANK A., III - passed peacefully away from this world on Monday evening, July 2, 2001, at Park West Hospital in Knoxville, in the presence of his son, Robert. It is sad to contemplate how many within the last decade of the noted and venerable gentlemen of what has come to be called "The Greatest Generation" are no longer with us as landmarks of that exceptional century. Born on May 13, 1912, at Annapolis, Maryland, home of the Naval Academy, he dreamed of a life at sea. After receiving his degree in engineering, he applied for a commission as an officer in the Navy, but was denied for health reasons. An energetic and ingenious young man growing up during the Great Depression, he never lacked employment. With the outbreak of World War II, he sought to apply his considerable talents in the service of his country. He personally worked on every single one of a 1000 warplane order for the French Air Force at the Glen L. Martin Aircraft Co. in Baltimore, Maryland. Soon his abilities brought him to the attention of the Whitman, Recquardt and Smith Engineering Firm, where he served on the Redstone Arsenal and Huntsville Ordinance plant projects in Alabama. Upon their completion, he was recruited to the top secret Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where he was soon accredited full Scientist status and before long gained access to all the separate facilities so that he was among only a handfull who realized the mission of the program. After the war, he was presented a medal for "The Battle of Oak Ridge" by President Truman. A quiet and unassuming man, like so many of his generation, he lived very simply and became a monument of the American virtues of thrift, temperance, industry, independence, self-sufficiency, decorum and honesty. He worked full-time at his profession until his retirement at age 82. He took nothing from anyone, and yet kindly and sympathetic, he could never refuse another'splea for help. He provided a home and support for his own parents in their old age, as well as his only sister in her times of need. He never burdened any of his family in any way, and many there are of his family and in this community who owe a debt of gratitude to him. A member of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church of Oak Ridge, he professed the Christian faith and espoused its virtues. He believed in prayer. He was a lifelong member of the I.E.E.E. He loved his country and the freedom it guarantees and showed that love by always casting an informed ballot and supporting a wide spectrum of conservative, patriotic, charitable and Christian causes. He is survived by his three sons: Frank A. Markli IV of Wichita Falls, Texas, Robert N. (Bob) Markli of Farragut, Tenn., and John C. Markli of Carrizozo, N.M.; four grandchildren, Shelby, Caitlin, Robert II, and Ginger; a niece, Patricia Cannon, and two great nieces, Corinne and Ashley Cannon of Long Beach, N.Y. Family and friends will gather at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 7, at Oak Ridge Memorial Park for graveside services with Bishop Lynn Whipple officiating. Click Funeral Home Farragut Chapel, 11915 Kingston Pike, is serving the Markli family.
