I shared a room with Frank, at london hospital for about 1week.
We talked alot and we shared lots of thoughts. That short period of time created a friendship which felt was bounded for decades.
Frank was an excellentt and knowledgeble person. Not only about technolodgy and macheinery but also about life and its ups and downs.
I wil miss him dearly. My respect for him will increase for the rest of my life. God bless his soul. My condolence and respect to Marianne and all Franks friends and family
