Watch show from the get. Frank and Mike, loved the old shows and sorry to say only record and watch the old ones with Frank and Mike. Don't care for the newer one's. Robbie the NO it All that gets things wrong all the time. e.i. He did on an earlier show that a '57 Chevy came with a 350 ci. Later broadcast cut that out. Funny! My wife and I have been picking (garage sales, estate sales and auctions) for 27 years. We have booths at Capitol Antiques in Allen MI. Since 1994. Tried to post my 1956 Buick Roadmaster. By the way Buick is Not oldest still in business. Ford and Buick 1904. Cadillac 1903. Olds is oldest but no longer. Loved you Frank, our favorite. R.I.P. See you on the other side.

I think we are all so very blessed...because of the American Pickers show we will forever keep this sweetheart of a guy close to our hearts & always welcomed in our homes. He taught us much about antiques, collectables, and the art of "picking" but the greatest gift he freely gave was a piece of himself for others to cherish. And that we shall do rest in peace Frankie, you are missed!
Heart hugs to family, friends, and all who were part of the FF fanclub!

Frank was my all time favorite on Pickers. He was knowledgeable but made it interesting to here not dry and boring. I really missed him when he left the show. He was an amazing person.

My condolences to the Family and friends of Mr. Fritz. He will truly be missed. I never missed an episode he was my favorite. I could really see his love of antiques and the joy of finding a piece that meant something to him. I pray that our Father in Heaven heals the Family that is left behind and strengthen their faith in God the father, Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit.

He could calculate in his head when he totaled the cost of the things he bought, and his preference for old oil cans and toys. I know he hd to quit because of his back issues. He ribbed Mike about all the hotdogs he ate! He is missed

My brother turned me on to American Pickers and I introduced you and Mike to my son who still loves the reruns, as do we.
I finally got to visit the Nashville store and met Mike but Frank was not there and it was very disappointing. I wanted to take my brother, but sadly he passed from a blood cancer before I was able to. He really loved you guys.
I heard of your passing, but thought it was just another rumor. I´m so very sorry to hear that it was true. I really loved you Frank. Your and Mike´s friendship was enviable. I´m glad you rekindled it before your passing.
Heaven gained a very sweet man. God rest your soul, Frank and my condolences to your family and friends. Bren Branch

My husband and I just wanted to say that we loved Frank and enjoyed so much the "Mike and Frank chemistry" on the show. We were glad they reunited before Frank passed and learning heartfelt tears were exchanged between them, once again binding, bought tears to our eyes also, even now. There will always be Mike & Frank in our minds. We love you Frank. Thanks for all the wonderful episodes on American Pickers. We continue to watch you in the reruns. You'll always be in our hearts.

I'm very sad to hear of Frank's passing. As an animal lover I felt for him when his cat, Arby passed away and he had a celebration including his fellow pickers for Arby's memorial.
I'm currently watching American Pickers and the reruns have Frank in them; I enjoy still being able to see him.
Miss you, Frank. Rest in peace.

Rest in Peace my friend, you are Loved, thank you for the joy you brought to millions of people. May God Bless You. Mary Edson, Vermont.

Always watch American Pickers and really enjoyed Frank´s skill in negotiating the best deal. He was the bundle master. I guess he must have a house full of smalls by now! He brought a lot of joy and enjoyment to all the wanna be pickers who watched his show. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace.

RIP dearest Frank. You were part of family although we never met. Your lovable presence always made our family nights enjoyable. Always looked forward to discover what new picks you would unearth. Loved your in-depth knowledge of things. So terribly sad you are no longer physically here. You are dearly missed.

I never met you other than via the show. But I always appreciated that you were out & about to find the old things that once were treasures but had fallen into forgotten junk... you found the good in them..you saw their true worth... you valued them for what you knew they could be; for so many people who once knew of or had them, longed for them again. Am I talking about your picks or am I talking about the people you met along your way that you were genuinely nice to and became friends with, or the people who watched your show and were themselves resurrected by what they saw you do ? Yes. Yes I am ... yes to all of it. Rest easy, Picker. You're headed for the best picks you have ever seen, in God's presence. May God Bless you, Frank. See you later !

Thank you Frank for making me enjoy history for the old and exstreamly old stuff. Along with Mike, you were the main reason I looked at American Pickers in the first place. Your knowledge matches Mike's sharing the jokes and banter while trying to get a reasonable price for an item.

Frank was the reason my husband and I enjoyed watching American Pickers. His love and interest for toys and games from our generation brought back so many
memories for us as as well as for him. Truth be told, we stopped watching the show after he was no longer on it. Just not the same. Sending our deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace Frank and thank you for the joy you brought to so many!
