I was sorry to hear that Frank passed away. We were ham radio operators, and he was always willing to help us out technically, with great patience. I remember his kind and gentle spirit the most, and his sense of humor. I will miss his friendly face at our "hamfests!" Our thoughts and prayers are with Rich. Rest in peace Frank, and 73!
