Frank and Pani were early enthusiasts of the ART-9 and I will always be grateful to them for the many fine listening hours that cart provided. Sorry to hear this news.

Oh so sad. Frank and I shared a few emails, and I’m sorry he passed first. As you all have said what I would have, RIP Frank.
To Frank’s family, remember and be happy to have enjoyed his life.

Horrible news. RIP Oregonpapa.
|
This is how my association with Oregonpapa started. His way of expression is very different. He had a big heart. Will miss him!
|
Ghastly news! Frank was a generous and innately kind man. Looks like I’m binging on great CDs he sent me of his most beloved music. Your soul is in an infinitely better place now. Be at peace, Frank.

Always enjoyed his post, will be missed.

There isn't really anything I can add to the sentiments above. I will say that I'm going to miss the always thoughtful input and courteous demeanor. Safe travels, Frank.

OMG! That was very sudden. I remember reading his posts on fuses, very recently, just yesterday. The good guys are going. Slowly. RIP Frank. You will be missed.

Darling friend,
I will miss our daily communications so much.
Thank you for the full on belly laughs
and for the yummy home roasted coffee.
Grateful for the jaw dropping Mel Torme and Dinah Washington
recordings you sent that Timmy refused to play.
For the anytime/every time phone calls.
💔💜💔 I Love you.
Hug Timmy for me, I’ll see you again.
🥰 Krissy

I had a few conversations with Oregon Papa and he gave me such a wealth of knowledge over a few weeks. Rest In Peace Frank, we are missing you already.
|
Oregon Papa was a true Audiophile-and willing to experiment
the SR Purple fuses were his last positive upgrade👍 A true 🇺🇸
RIP 🎶
|
Grace and Peace for his family. Godspeed to the eternal Frank !
|
Frank was a very kind man. He also shared with me many of his prized recordings and quite a few conversations.
His presence will always be with me and the many audiophiles he helped.
RIP.

You will be missed Oregonpapa. Rest in peace.

Frank was a very generous man with a most generous soul. Always up never down full of energy and exuberance for all things audio... He always sounded so young on the phone until one day I told him my age and he told me his age... he was very smart and well-read... really bright, as bright as his personality. Wish I had sat with you Frank for a drink and a good listen. Tom

This is such terribly sad news. I’m heartbroken and in tears. Frank, Dormit In Pace. Requiescat In Pace.
@yoby Jeff, please pass on my condolences to his family. Wish them strength and love and perseverance during this very difficult and trying time.
If Frank’s family is open to it, please pass on the Obituary Information so those of us who want to reach out personally, can. Thank you.

This is very sad news and I will miss Frank just as I miss the late Almarg. After some enjoyable conversations with Frank several years ago he took the time to copy some his most cherished jazz albums and sent them to me. I will always treasure these gifts from Frank. He was a very kind and intelligent person.
My sincerest condolences to his family.
