It is so sad to learn early departure of this great philatelist and human from the earth. I surely did not know that it was going to be our last meeting when I saw him at London 2022 which was the peak of his numerous philatelic achievements. He will be missed greatly. Frank, Rest …

Frank has been a friend since I met him at a West Africa Study Circle meeting in the early Ninetees. His warmth, kindness, and helpful comments were immediately apparent. When he relinquished his editorship of Cameo and became Editor of the LP, Rob May and I (as new joint Editors of Cameo) were thankful …

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 …

Personally I shall always be grateful to Frank for publishing my first researched paper. I do not think many editors would have devoted 14pp of the LP to an unknown philatelist. Moreover he spent a great deal of time improving my illustrations. When I thought one of them could be “lived with” he replied …

It is incomprehensible to admit that Frank is no longer with us. The feeling is too absurd to take in. I’ve been thinking a lot lately. If one should die as fast as Frank left us, then I should too want myself to die the way as Frank. As a General on a horseback, …
