I personally nor even on the internet did not know Frank, but from what I have seen and read from all of these other people, he must've been a good man. I send my blessings to his family, and my prayers. I think we can all be assured he is living a better life in Heaven.

God Bless his family.

I know Frank through internet forums and the newsgroup rec.sport.billiard. However, I also met him in person several times at the Super Billiards Expo. Some people you instantly know they're a good guy, Frank was one of those. He will be missed and a little light goes out of this world with him.

My deepest condolences to his friends and family. May he rest in peace.

Steve Ellis.

I was deeply saddened at the news of Frank's passing. I had the opportunity to share dinner and a few games of pool with him at this year's US Open. He was a fine man, and I know many in the pool playing community will miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Although I knew Frank mainly through his participation in internet pool forums like the CCB, AZB and IP, I had the pleasure of meeting him in person, also.

I first met him at the Super Billiards Expo at Valley Forge and again at the U.S. Open and CCB Tournament in Virginia.

Frank was a terrific guy who was always willing to help someone out. He will be sorely missed in the pool community.

My deepest sympathy to his family and close friends. Please do not mourn his death, but celebrate his life.

I first met Frank about 24 years ago during the startup of North Anna Power Station. I more recently worked with him at Innsbrook Technical Center. Frank was an intelligent and diligent person. I will miss him and my prayers are with his family.

Please accept our deepest sympathy on Frank's passing. Frank was my first Shift Supervisor at North Anna when I was assigned as a brand new Shift Technical Advisor on 'C' shift. He provided much guidance and support as I learned the ropes as an STA. He even offered some of his 'secret' fishing hole knowledge of Lake Anna once or twice. I will miss Frank very much. Kindest regards,
