HALLMAN, Franklin Ray Franklin Ray Hallman, a dearly loved husband, father, brother, uncle and friend, passed from this world on September 28, 2019 in Austin, TX. Frank and his identical twin, Fred, were born in Abilene, TX on September 18, 1937. Frank fondly talked of his adventures with Fred growing up during those years in Paint Rock, Eden, and Menard. Frank and Fred graduated from Menard High School in 1956. Frank then attended and graduated from Texas A & M with a degree in Civil Engineering and forever remained a fanatical Aggie. He married Carmen Tamayo on August 19, 1961 in Dallas, TX. They had two sons, Mark and Richard, whom they raised in Garland, TX. Frank was in the construction business for 35 years, working alongside his brother Sandy for the first part of that career. After retiring in 1997 from the construction business, Frank and Carmen worked for Exor, which was co-owned by their son Mark.
