Over 12 hrs. later and I still can't function correctly.
O.S.H.I.T...immediately came to mind. I've been going over his last
email, which was so typical and looking at pictures from the first time
we met in 1999 at Elkhart Lake. Frank, of course, drove "Pieces" and we
had a great time.
The Holy Sprite and LoTO pictures stir the memories. To meet Frank and
Diane was to know them. A lot of you obviously knew Frank a lot better
than we, but for Terri and I at the Holy Sprite session...we knew anyone
who would organize and fix up a Sprite for a friend...well, that sums up
the character of the person. It also sums up the character of the LIST.
Many of you will find your way to New Jersey to pay homage to Frank.
Quite a of us may not be able to get there. Frank and Paul led lives to
be celebrated, let's do it at the Midget 50th!
God Bless you Frank and May God give your family the strength to carry on.
Dave and Terri (sorry if I rambled)
