I just read this and have no idea what to say. This is devastating. I just
spent
a Sunday afternoon there with Frank and Larry a couple weeks ago. Frank
was his
usual amazing self - full of humor and knowledge, giving his time and
expertise
freely on yet another friend's project. I will most certainly miss
him.
Frank introduced me to this community upon buying one of the many
Spridgets he
put back on the road over the years. Since then, I have spent
quite a few
weekends and afternoons there in the garage having the time of my
life.
Frank, you will be sorely missed. I am SO glad I had the privelege to
know you.
Jim, Have you spoken with Dianne?

Subject: [Spridgets] Sad News...
It is with heavy heart and tears
in my eyes that I write this. I just got
off the phone with Frankie Clarici.
They are still pretty much in shock but
he told me that he had just returned
from the hospital. Frank Clarici, the
dean of Spridgets, suffered a heart
attack and passed away today. I will
try to keep everyone informed as funeral
plans proceed.
God Speed, Frank. I miss you already....
