My deep sympathy for the passing of a friend and a past co-worker when we worked at Fisher And Father together as mechanics. I’ll miss Frank greatly.
Whether on the phone or at a convention, after spending time with Frank I always felt like I had a better understanding and/or perspective on whatever it was we were talking about. I will miss that. My deepest sympathies to his entire family, both personal and business.
