Very sorry to hear this.
I'm pretty new here, but he always seemed to handle himself with class and tried to help people out with his experiences and knowledge.
The audio community could certainly use more people like him.
RIP oregonpapa
Today, oregonpapa (Frank) passed away. He will be greatly missed by many of us on Audiogon. I got to know him about a year ago personally, having had many phone calls with him over that time. He was a delightfully kind man, who freely shared his wisdom with others. Bedsides high end audio, , Frank was very knowlegable about world history and politics. Good bye my friend. Jeff
