Frank and I were friends over 50 years we played many tourney in San Francisco San Jose and North Hollywood. We were close friend a I always respected him, not for his quality of billiards, but also the way he would treat and respect lesser players and talk with them and give tips to them. He was a clssa act and although I haven't seen him in years, I always followed him in tournaments. He was a fantastic golf player on a very tight table. I used to play in those games and I would win 1out of4 or 5. But Frank was the favorite. Other players were Roy Hargrove, the smartest player, his friend Gene,Joe Amendola,me--Sam Worley and some times Cowboy Jimmy Moore would com to town to play. What a fantastic player in all games . Those were wonderful days. But also I played in a tourney in North Hollywood when Allen Gilbert had a 31 inning game in50 point finals and Frank had 2 24inning games...The equipment was slow super couldn't cloth and the ball that was red was dark red. God bless you Frank
