I also received the email from Frank, Jr. I just can't and don't want to believe that such a good online friend of mine and of these message boards has passed on to his reward. Frank has communicated with us within this last week and I was not aware of any threatening health problems. It just shows how fragile and precious life is.
Frank, epitomized the best of our contributors. He was never one to go looking for a fight, rather, he was a voice of reconciliation and balance. I will be contacting Frank, Jr. to get details on the date and location of the funeral, as well as, any special charities they might like to recognize in lieu of flowers.
I will post what I find out. If someone else gets the details first, please feel free to post them here. I will be adding an announcement of Franks's passing to the text announcement box at the top-right of the main message index pages.
Rest in Peace My Dear Friend.
Jim
