Frank Rest in Peace:

A Irish Prayer

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

RIP

Semper Fi.

I first met Frank at the New York show in '85. He was a kind gregarious man who made everyone he met feel like an old friend. His contribution to the world of Custom Knives was huge and he will be remembered as one of the greats.
My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to his family.......

Condolences to his family and friends.
He came from an era where a man would take out his pocket knife, and artfully peel an orange.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

That just ruined my evening. The man did wonderful things for the community and industry. Prayers sent.

Frank was a Great Man and Knifemaker. He will be missed in the knife world. All my best to his family and those close to him. I have two of his knives(one that he designed just for me) I will cherish them always!

Frank was one of three makers who years ago went way out of his way to spend time with me and make me comfortable at my first custom show. He will be dearly missed.
