Frank Willett

Five years after Frank's passing, I still find myself thinking about him. Having worked alongside him in his studio for several years, I can say he was a creative and prolific artist, and a wonderful human being. Frank was a very friendly, personable person easily connecting with others, a good conversationalist, who could thoughtfully address many subjects. He was thoughtful, tolerant and helpful with all those working around him - a great studio mate. It was a pleasure knowing him.

Frank, I'm so glad to have met you and learned pottery tricks from you. You'll always be remembered as one of my favorite potters and people. Rest well brother <3

Frank's passing leaves a hole in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him. His twinkling eyes, laughter, and calm demeanor were so special. I am so grateful to have had my life touched by Frank's joyful spirit.

Awwww, Louise, we have lost a gem, a jewel, an easy-to-laugh example of one who lived life joyfully, likely sustained by his expert talent for playing in the mud! My hope is that you are comforted by his whispers of continued love, caring and laughter that hold you close to him forever.
Group hug, Laura

Every time I saw him was like a bit of sunshine, a truly special person, so sorry to hear of his passing.

Ah what a life well lived. My condolences Luisa.

The greatest talents always come wrapped in humility. Frank was a treasure to the whole community and I know many people are feeling this loss and grieving with Luisa and his whole family. He will be lissed greatly.

Frank was truly a unique and wonderful individual. All who knew him are blessed. See the memorial in the NMPCA newsletter here: http://www.thesliptrail.com/in-memory-of-frank-willett/
