Frank will be sorely missed. He was a great friend, always available to patiently help with whatever philatelic or other issues arose. He achieved very many things, but was ready to undertake so much more. Sadly that is not to be. This is an extremely sad time for us all. We offer our heartfelt …

Frank was President of The Royal in my joining year. I was immediately welcomed and made to feel at home. His pleasant smile and friendly manner immediately dispelled stories of aloofness at the Royal. I am in awe of the man and his prodigious energy and knowledge in matters philatelic. His good company and …
