Still missmy jazz buddy

He was the ultimate authority  on jazz. Tought me so much. Miss his humor and laughter Miss you" lady Francis"

Frank introduced me to jazz..Coltrane,miles,chet baker,bill evans and many more. I really miss the guy.I’m so glad we had a long text in August. He always made me smile at work. 

He did not like his sandwiches toasted! 

Frank's sudden passing has been felt all around the country.  In the 1970's we worked together at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington, where Frank pulled together a competitive softball team of social workers to play some serious ball. We shared a common interest in jazz, often trading tips on artists and even LPs. Sometime after Frank returned to Concord he was  excited for  the opportunity to have his own radio show. It has  been pure joy listening  to his programs over internet radio since Linda and I now live in Minnesota. Frank also leaves behind an indelible presence on past friends on the West Coast from his years in Washington State. There's a jazz tune entitled "Blues In The Closet". Frank would want us to leave them there while we celebrate the joy he brought to all of us.

I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. We worked together at the VA for many years. We would see each other occasionally at our retiree lunches. He was always so interesting to talk to and had a wonderful sense of humor. 

My deepest sympathies to all of you. I was so saddened to hear this news. Frank was such a great guy and a big part of my adolescent years.  Most of my memories of him were back in my teen years. I loved hanging out at your house, chatting with Frank.  He was so easy to talk to. I also remember him often being in the living room listening to his music and doing his baseball card thing with David. 

In recent years I’d occasionally run in to him at Market basket and we’d have a nice chat and catch up.  He was a great guy. He’ll be missed by many.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you💔

My memories are all or almost all related to our mutual love of jazz and today was no exception. While my interest in my weekday mornings lies mostly with left of center talk, there were those many days when the musical break your dad provided were so appreciated, not only for his choices of genre or style or in the case of today’s program a singer backed up on piano by Dave Brubeck. Today is Thursday September 30, 2021. I am just now reading about Frank dying earlier this week. I am so sorry for your loss. After reading some of the comments I can rest assured tonight that Frank certainly found his niche and love in his later years. I’m so happy to know Frank and his love-missing you already Lady Francis!!
