My deepest condolences to Frank’s family. I first met Frank while working alongside his brother Jeffrey at Outback Steakhouse, and later, I had the privilege of working with Frank at Denny’s, where he was the GM. His sister, Michalyn, was also there, waiting tables. During that time, we built a wonderful friendship, and though life took us in different directions after he moved on from Denny’s, I always held onto the fond memories we shared.

I only recently learned of his passing, and I am still in shock and disbelief. It was heartbreaking enough to hear that Jeffrey had passed a year earlier, and now knowing Frank is gone too is devastating. I had tried to reach out to him with the only number I had, but it was no longer his. The last time I saw Frank was in 2019 at a NOFX concert, where he was busy running his new cooler business. Even in the middle of all that, he made time to help us—holding onto our merch and letting us rest in the shade with the chairs he had brought. That was just the kind of person he was—always thoughtful, always caring, always putting others before himself.

I will miss him dearly and only wish we had one more chance to spend time together. Frank had a heart of gold, and the world is a little dimmer without him. Rest in peace, my friend.
