Frank the yank manc

Post by fossie » Thu Mar 14, 2024 11:38 am

:o Some of the earlier members will remember Frank who owned a chocolate store in New York and sent us those Katana bars after he joined us on the JOGLE on my 400..he was sort of honoury member....
Yet another to the list...he passed away in a car crash this morning ..US time.

Kryten knew him from the Triumph FB page aswell, I knew him from our days at Comet couriers before he flited over the pond.

Frank would pop into “The Bar” on the T595.net/Triumphtorque.net forum (before it became a nasty place to be and was shutdown by it’s owner) and was regularly asking about the Kat club. He had a rather offbeat story about his Dad as well, but that’s for another conversation.

How the New Yorkers got on with his sense of humour (British/Northern) I don’t know :lol:

Sad news again, best wishes to his family and friends.
