Frank's kindness, motivation and amazing humor. I met him when replying to a
craigslist ad of his for a Spridget after I sold my 68 Spitfire of 30 plus
years and couldn't stand not having an LBC. He sold that Spridget but told me
that the Spridget was the way to go because he too struggled with the stupid
differential on his Spitfire and once he bought his dad's Spridget he never
looked back. Frank encouraged me to get back to doing what I loved and that was
turning wrenches and LBC's as I lost confidence after selling my Spitfire. I
found my 62 Sprite "Pinky",(the name from Terry Horler's book) on eBay, and
remember all the books I bought during my research phase. I remember I was in
Alaska visiting friends while she was being delivered from Los Angeles to New
Jersey only 30 miles from the Clarici's I was so excited because I never bought
a car online. When she arrived I had emailed Frank about her poor running and
he told me to post questions to the "list" and the rest is history. Soon after
getting Pinky she was backfiring so badly I couldn't get out of the garage and
Frank offered to take a look (I think he was amazed they made a "pink" one and
really wanted to see it for his own eyes). He came over to adjust the carbs and
ended up taking the carbs with him and rebuilding them. I was amazed of his
kindness and since then learned to "Pay it forward", and reaching out to the
list for LBC and other technical non LBC questions. I loved when he would host
an OSHIT day in Toms River learning for all the masters and I even brought my
new MIG over to weld in a spot on the Holy Sprite the humor was endless. Diane,
Frankie and Tiffany (thanks Tiff for Sprite the kitten) were so kind to all the
greasy Spridigiteers and I looked forward to all the meets I could make. Raise
up your glasses tonight for a toast to Frank, Paul, Biff and yes even Ed for
the endless humor and knowledge for LBC's and other stuff that life throws at
us. They would want us to be happy and help one another get through
troubleshooting projects and help others by paying it forward.  A link from
2006 when Frank came over to help me with Pinky, when you could actually walk
in the garage .....winkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CSBIvnw5qk  I am
forever grateful for the wonderful people on this list,Linda62 California

God Bless you Frank and thank you! To: Diane, Frankie, Tiffany, and the

goes one way."Â Oh, there are exceptions, but that statement, like Frank's, is
sufficient to cause us to take a step back from our project and think things
