RIP Frank and Thanks for everything

This is sad news indeed. I'll have to smoke an ERDM, Hoya, or Ultimate for him today.

[hotreds]

Yup, cigar smoking certainly cut him down in the prime of life! RIP and thanks!

The last JR catalog has quite a few pages dedicated to Frank. An old interview, and Lew Rothman praising him to no end.


RIP Frank
