“I’ve know[n] Frank for more then half my life and what you’ve seen on TV has always been what I have seen, a dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny.”

So heartbreaking.
What he didn’t reveal, though, is how Frank died. But that question has now been answered.
On Tuesday, TMZ reported that the 60-year-old passed as the result of compilations from a stroke he suffered in 2022. He had also apparently been battling Crohn’s disease for years, which the outlet reported could have played a role.
So sad…
The news org also noted that Frank spent his last days in a hospice facility in the Quad Cities area on the border of Illinois and Iowa. He was reportedly surrounded by loved ones, including his longtime friend and co-star Mike when he passed.
Such heartbreaking news. But we’re so glad he wasn’t alone. Rest in peace, Frank.
