The old man taught me a thing or two and I'll miss our conversations at the Lounge. Frank was one of a kind and for the most part gave me good advice. My condolences to Andy, Becky, Brock and the family.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I wish I had saw him when I was home in January. He was a significant part of our Broadway neighborhood for a very long time. Scott, Brooks and I had a lot of good times there. It was one of the first places I'd come to when I'd come back home. I felt very comfortable there. My condolences to Andy and the rest of his family. God Bless.
