So Long And Thanks for All The Fish

This is xnamkrad's daughter posting on behalf of my father. After his last entry my father was taken into hospital and unfortunately a scan showed that the cancer was too far advanced and beyond treatment. We had hoped that he would have a few months left, but unfortunately his illness has advanced a lot faster than expected and he is currently in ( Read more... )

I'm so sorry. I never got to meet him in person but we enjoyed each other's company online, and he was a great support when I was ill last year. I shall miss his optimism and sense of humour. If he's fit to hear messages, tell him I said Hi.

Ohhhhhhh damn. I am so so sorry to hear that. Thank you SO MUCH for updating. I have been wondering how he was doing for some time now. I really, really appreciate the update.

This is Lisa, aka twirlgrrl. My message for him at this moment is this: Frank, you are a really, REALLY good egg!! Your positivity and support of others in the cancersupport community has been amazing and beautiful to behold. I am so grateful to know you. I wish you the very best, most peaceful and pain-free time with your loving family now. Thank you for EVERYTHING. With Love, Lisa

I am so sorry. I haven't known him long but he's clearly a very special person. Love and strength to him and to all of you.

I am really very sorry to hear that. Frank was my first choice to take over P-Con after I ran it for the first three years, and he gave us two great cons, and it will not be the same without him. Please pass on my fondest regards to him, and tell him I said he did a great job.

Thanks, Frank.

Thank you for everything; for your selflessness, for your heart, your courage and your sheer undaunted, unassuming amiability.

Wherever you pitch up next, I know they'll be the richer for having you there; and if you ever need something to remember, think of the closing speech at the end of the last P-Con - and every last person in that room cheering you on!
