I remember conversing with him several times through messages and forums and remember him talking about some health issues. Just checked his profile and he hasn't posted since Sept 2015. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about his absence, or how he was doing.

Wish I knew about him also. Haven't talked to him in quite awhile. Did a lot of talking on the phone at one time. Did a few deals with him. He's an A-1 guy. Sure miss talking to him.

Frank is first class.....hope all is well, when I was under the weather last summer he offered prayers and support. Had several transactions with him over the years, a top shelf guy.
I emailed him.. don't like his response..
Hi Daniel,
It's a very long story bud. Last fall I started having severe pain in my back and neck and then started to lose the functioning of my legs, falling down, missing steps, that sort of thing. In November, I passed out here in my home falling into a door jam and messing up my face. When I came to. I remembered that I had been on the phone with my wife. She is a RN and called 911, thinking that I had a stroke. At the hospital, I was evaluated by the stroke team but they found no evidence of stroke. I had MRIs of my back and head that day and later that night, two surgeons came to my room to tell me that I had a large aneurism on my carotid artery, right at the base of my brain as well as two areas of my spine that were badly damaged. Because of the disease that I have, I have to take blood thinners everyday and they were worried that this would be a disaster if they operated. The aneurism had to be fixed though as it covered 270 degrees of a 360 degree vessel, and it was leaking. Anyway, I had the seven plus hour surgery and only by the grace of God did I survive. I have to wait until July to see if the repair they did is good enough to have the surgeries I need on my back. I've really missed all of my Tradgang friends but I still have trouble with cognition and stringing words together and my memory is terrible. I would be too embarrassed to attempt a conversation on the fly. Just this little note took me almost thirty minutes to write. I haven't shot a bow in a long time and man do I miss it! I used to shoot everyday! Anyway, thank you so much for writing Daniel. Please keep me in your prayers.
God Bless,
Frank
Very sorry to hear this.
Frank is a good man and I'm glad to call him a friend even though we have never met .I pray God healing and mercy for him
Hang in there Frank! So sorry to hear that you're going through this, and will certainly pray that you get good news in July so that they can take the next step in your recovery.
God Bless Frank,I pray for a full recovery.
Prayers are being said for you Frank. We do certainly miss you. ThankYou Daniel for kindness in getting this started.
:pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray:
May God bless you Frank. I have also had you in my thoughts many times these past few months.
If anyone deserves our prayers, it has to be Frank.
Frank, praying for full restoration for you and a return to the things you love.
Daniel Thanks X2!

Have done multiple deals with Frank, he is a good guy. Hope there is much improvement in his health.
Good man right there. Praying for the best Frank.
Praying for you Frank :pray: :pray: :pray:
Our prayers are with you Frank,may the good Lord help the doctors to heal you and make you better.
Just to show how nice a guy Frank is; I mentioned that I liked wool on a thread here but the southern thrift shops rarely had any. Out of the blue Frank sent me a really nice heavy wool coat and a shirt he had picked up at a shop. A perfect fit and my favorite cold weather hunting coat to this day.
Later Frank inquired about buying one of my selfbows, of course there would be no buying involved after his generous gifts. I made him a bow and sent it to him. We have become pen pals and he keeps me up to date on what is going on.
The health challenges Frank has in his life would sour a normal man but he has remained the same great, humble, thoughtful man in spite of all of the adversity that he has faced.
Exactly Mr. Krewson, We did a bow trade and when mine came there were two packages. He didn't think the trade was even so he sent 1/2 doz. arrows with broadheads to even it out.......good people.
Never knew him or interacted with him.
Praying for his quick recovery all the same.
Having a bit of spine issues and resultant drama makes me take life more seriously - good heath is seriously underrated.
:pray: :pray: :pray:
I swapped a couple things with Frank and he is very kind and generous. I'll keep my fellow TGMM'er in my thoughts and prayers.
Praying for you Frank.
Prayers sent for a speedy recovery.
Hang in there Frank!!! God Bless you my friend :)
Praying for you tonight Frank; never met you or did any deals with you but I want to join with my brothers who do know you.
I pray for the very best for you.
May God bless you!
Gary
Prayers up!

Frank is as good as they come and I miss his contributions to Trad gang and out conversations through PM.
Prayers to a good recovery so that he may shoot with his kids again, something he took pride in doing!
Frank, it is good to hear your operation was successful and your on the mend. We will keep you in prayers, get well soon.
Prayers for complete healing for you Frank!

:pray: :pray: wishing you the very best recovery and future progress Frank. I still have some of your cedars in my quivers in the game room. Your a special guy and we miss you.
Sorry to hear this about Frank. I got a message from him a while back because it turns out we live extremely close to one another! Small world!
I never met the man but this may explain why he never got back to me when I gave him my number.
I would love to offer him and his wife some physical support since he lives so close so if anyone knows a way to get a hold of him better than tradgang (which I am sure he isn't checking often) I would love for you to PM me.
I would also be a convenient liaison if we want to offer him any care packages.
let me know guys!!!
Prayers for you Frank.... Steve
Prayers lifted up for you Frank.
My wife has two large aneurysms and will have a pipeline embolization (basically a stint) done this week for two on the right side of her brain. Expecting a good outcome though and glad they caught it before any problems.
Hoping Frank moves forward from here.
