Frank dropped offline back in November, and his wife recently reached out to let folks know he passed over from a massive heart attack at that time.
He was a mentor. He was humble.
Peace.

That's a shame, but not entirely unexpected I guess. I remember him posting about his health a few times, once he said he even died in his La-Z-boy...literally. He was a good guy and made real contributions to PSF. He was a funny guy too. I know some guys knew him from Boswell meet ups and really enjoyed talking with him. Rest in peace Frank.

I had a tremendous amount of respect for DarkFlake. I was the one who nominated him for the Old Ted award. At some point a few years ago, I acquired the GBD Prehistoric (in the rotation now) from him.
Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord;
and let light perpetual shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace

Sad to hear. I remember seeing him on the old forum. May he rest in peace

Sorry to hear this.

I looked up my info on the GBD DarkFlake sent me, and it was April 28, 2016. It is odd I would get the news of his death on the anniversary of the day he sent me the pipe.
