Dearest family,
of my long time friend, mentor and fellow musician and artist, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Frank was a lovely man, a great artist and we experienced so many wonderful times travelling and playing music together all over the world. My family really loved him as well and my brother Peter Eisenhardt and Kari Eisenhardt also send their deepest condolences. The photo I include of Frank is classic. He is in Canada in the fall in 1968 in front of our home. It was such a pleasure to watch him develop as an artist over the years. He is painting and playing his beloved drums now, and he is at peace. I will always remember him as a wonderful, creative, human being.
God bless you all.

Bitter sweet.......Frank fought the good fight for 13 years in his difficult situation. He always had a smile on his face and was happy when his friends came by to visit even though it was difficult to communicate with him. He and I go back a very long way and I have many great memories of our times together. Very talented drummer and artist. I have a couple of his paintings that he did in 1986. Chris has been a loving son and provider for his dad all these years and I'm sure that Frank was very, very thankful. I will miss you Frankie and don´t forget ......" soup or juice...?"
