It seems like there have been an awful lot of RIPs this year and this ones a shock.

Sad news indeed

There are more RIP's in here because some of the people who are passing away were people we grew up on or had some type of influence on us(negative/positive).

true dorf, true. I guess it's an age thing, there are times when you seem to be going to a wedding every other weekend and I guess there are times when the heroes and figures of your youth start to shuffle off.
But having said that, there have been quite a few relatively young deaths this year, 54 was no age for Frank.

that's a sad story - he was about to reveal himself in his own right...

A true working class hero. Had the pleasure of seeing him live a couple of times last year - brilliant. I grew up in Timperley and he was indeed a true gent and local legend. Really sad.

That big head always scared the bejesus out of me! What was the idea behind it ?

This must be some "across the water" thing.

Irish? No he's a Manc. A Timperley boy.

I'll always remember him in Number 73 on a Saturday morning.
And the visual oddness of Little Frank.
