Yes, he was - helped me with a couple pm several months back. Enjoyed reading his post in the forums. Will be missed - had a wealth of pool knowledge - truly had to love the game. Condolences to his family.

I met Frank at the CCB tourney in September. He seemed a bit stoic and preoccupied and I wondered why. It turns out he had just been diagnosed.

God rest his soul. He was a good man.

Popcorn posted his obit on the CCB:

hi all,

this is frank's oldest son, lavelle. thank you for all your condolenses and thoughts. it's nice to know dad had so many friends is so many different places. some of you may have known, dad had pancreatic cancer, he had it for sometime before it being diagnosed. he was undergoing some experimental cemo therapy, and it was very tiring and painful. i think it was really hard for him not to be able to do the things he loved, like playing pool. dad passed quitely on saturday evening, at least now he is no longer in pain and can watch over us all. some happier news, he did find out he was a grandfather, my wife had a baby boy on friday night.

thank you again for everything

Lavelle Glenn
 
Congratulations on your new baby, so sorry it was under such circumstances....I joined this forum fairly recently and only read a few of Frank's posts, but he seemed to be a very nice person, interested in helping others, and he will be missed. Condolences to your family.
