I have such great memories with Rich at Mississippi Nights in the 80's. He was a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. R.I.P. my friend. Pam and Joe from Texas.

Imagine having owned a spot that countless people remember as “where I met the love of my life.” That’s a gigantic small part of his special legacy. Thank you, Rich Frame. Rest well.

Heartfelt condolences to Mary and the rest of Rich's family. I bowled with Rich for decades, coming to know Brad and Dennis as a result. Rich was the genuine article, a man of conviction and straight talk. A pleasure to know. He was also extremely generous. And I could listen to his Mississippi Nights stories forever.
