Sad news indeed. Fran will be missed on this forum and especially at the Florida Jam. He was instrumental on organizing the first jam and supportive of all the ensuing jams. His smiling friendly face will surely be missed.

Fran was also a great help to me when getting this Technics Forum started many years ago. He was also a great advisor in dealing with many of the problems in this early forum. I always appreciated his help. He was very active then and I think I still have a lot of his music recorded for my 20 for 1 email lists that I also ran for years.
I too send my condolences to Marge and all the family. Fran will be missed by us all.
Best regards to all,
Bebop
