Sadly, one of our great members. BigBlock (Frank) passed away this past week. Frank was an avid RVer and a friend to many. I know I can speak for myself and all three of the Amigos, John, Paul and Chuck, who were all good friends of Frank, on how tragic this was. Our feelings go out to his family and wife, Liz.
Frank touched many people during his RV days throughout his travels. He will be greatly missed by us all and, I'm sure many more. God bless a great man.
Peter

Frank was a great guy. We're very glad we got to know him while we were at River Bend last winter, as well at some encounters at Camp Newmar.
Here's a newspaper link: Frank A. Freihofer

This is indeed sad news.
I got to know Frank a little bit after meeting him at Paul's last winter and spending some time with him at Camp Newmar this summer.

I have taken the liberty of adding our friend's information to the iRV2.com MEMBER MEMORIAL section and will work with the family at an appropriate time to include more information and a photo of our friend.
