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

Surprising and awful news, which came out of nowhere. Really admired, respected, and genuinely liked Frank. His commitment and passion to high end audio, combined with his youthful enthusiasm to constantly keep improving things set the best of examples. As so many here mentioned, he was a person noteworthy for his kindness and generosity with his time and the material blessings he received. The community here is meaningfully less without him.

Godspeed, Frank. Hope you and those close to you find peace!

I'm a relative newbie to both forum and audio in general and his post I always enjoyed, very sad day it is. RIP 

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.

I feel a great sadness at the loss of our friend Frank.  May I give my condolences to his relatives and friends and may he rest in peace.
