I agree with everyones comments, a lovely guy. However being a bit of an old Pagan I look at it this way. If on the day we are born you would be offered Franks life into a good old age and die peacefully in your sleep with a large a loving family there to see you off, would you take it. I certainly would.
he will be missed by those left behind. But he is happy. he has had a ball lived a great and good life. Now it's time to rest.

Hi, I was lucky enough to spend some time with Frank after one of his shows. He sat and entertained my young daughter, he was a real gentleman. Playing with her and making her laugh with his jokes. He will always be remembered in this way.
