Frank Blanchard

My wife and I shared a memorable experience with Frank on a tour of the Mohawk River provided by the Poplars Restaurant. We only found out about Frank's death at our family Christmas Party in Amsterdam on December 31st. We are saddened by his passing.

Andy and Ken, We're sorry for your loss. May your fondest memories sustain you now and in the future, Love, Ron and Rita

My condolences to Franks family, I´m sure he will be missed by many.

ive known frank since 1976 we both had studebakers the man had heart of gold . always willing to help out a guy like myself. I feel bad r.i,p buddy

toute mes sympathies à toute la famille

Mr Blanchard was my biology teacher at GHS and also Frank was part of the racing crew that I hung out with on Saturday nights at Fonda Speedway and after the races. Frank was a great guy and will be greatly missed RIP Frank!

I met Frank back in 2016 as his doctor. He completed treatment for his prostate cancer and quickly drove down to Florida to compete. He came back to New York the following Spring with the Grand Prize trophy! He said that he was "sharing" that win with me since I helped him get there. Since then, I absolutely enjoyed our follow up visits, which were often filled with stories about cars and racing, which we both loved. At our last visit, he promised to spend some time teaching my son this...

I´m someone that only knew Frank for a short period of time the last time I seen him he was loading his race car when I offered to help and he insisted he did it himself a do it himself kind of guy . Being a late bloomer in racing myself, I am so glad I had him in my life and part of the experience, showing us how it´s done giving the kids a ride around the race track. What a beautiful memory.
