  1. Wow. Having met Frank a few times over the years, reading this thread really hit me over the head in disbelief. Prayers sent.

    I just told Frances....she's heartbroken, too. She's in bed now clutching Frank the bear like never before.

    This is really sad news. I haven't met Frank in person but I've always enjoyed his contributions to the the HAMB.

    Frank is one of the good guys.
    Over the past several years I have had the privilege of having lunch with Frank almost every Friday. He always had a story and was always willing to help with a hand, advise, or an opinion. He is surely a mentor to me and was very interested and supportive of my recent builds. I'm truly going to miss the guy...

    As he spends his last days with us, I hope his mind is filled with family, friends and lots of hot rods...

    So sorry to hear this. I never me the man, but have enjoyed his posts here. I pray for a full recovery but I know what hospice means. Prayers to his family in this time.
     
  17. I too have enjoyed Franks posts here. I hope he's reading this thread, or having it read to him.
    Not really sure what to say, just wanted to add to the thread.
    I think it important for Frank to know how well thought of, he is here.
     
  18. Thanks so much for adding the photo's....HRP

    So sorry to read this. I, too, enjoyed his posts and perspective. RIP Frank
     
  25. So sorry to hear of this. No more suffering, if that could be a comfort. May God give comfort and strength to his family and friends in this difficult time.
     
  26. Damn, I'm just reading all this, and had no idea how bad it was. Crushed to say the least. Always looked forward to hanging out with Frank at car shows. Thinking of you Frank, you'll be dearly missed.

    My old 5 window, Lucky77's A and Frank's sedan at the Midland just fest. One of Frank's favorite events. The only way that hot rod got washed is when he drove it in the rain. 1935657_1238774055389_717841_n.jpg
