RIP oregonpapa


Today, oregonpapa (Frank) passed away. He will be greatly missed by many of us on Audiogon. I got to know him about a year ago personally, having had many phone calls with him over that time. He was a delightfully kind man, who freely shared his wisdom with others. Bedsides high end audio, , Frank was very knowlegable about world history and politics. Good bye my friend. Jeff

This is very sad news and I will miss Frank just as I miss the late Almarg. After some enjoyable conversations with Frank several years ago he took the time to copy some his most cherished jazz albums and sent them to me. I will always treasure these gifts from Frank. He was a very kind and intelligent person.

My sincerest condolences to his family.

This is such terribly sad news. I’m heartbroken and in tears. Frank, Dormit In Pace. Requiescat In Pace.

@yoby Jeff, please pass on my condolences to his family. Wish them strength and love and perseverance during this very difficult and trying time.

If Frank’s family is open to it, please pass on the Obituary Information so those of us who want to reach out personally, can. Thank you.

Frank was a very generous man with a most generous soul. Always up never down full of energy and exuberance for all things audio... He always sounded so young on the phone until one day I told him my age and he told me his age... he was very smart and well-read... really bright, as bright as his personality.  Wish I had sat with you Frank for a drink and a good listen.
