I had the good fortune of being invited to Franks home on many an occasion, he would call all excited, you need to come over and hear how good the system is now, because of a new tweak, or something. He had a huge record collection, and his system took up much of his living space. Frank was a humble man, of modest means, but his passion and excitement for our hobby was infectious. I would frequently bring a nice bottle of single malt, and I would learn so much about west coast jazz from him.
During Covid, my visits became less frequent, and I too am sorry to hear of his passing. I will miss him on many levels. He was one of the good guys.
RIP,
Bob
