    Wow, go away for a couple of weeks on an Iceland cruise and see this posting. Though I never met Frank in person, his posts and knowledge on this forum were beyond awesome. RIP.

    Sad to hear this... as I have been in and out of the hobby over the years, he was one constant on this board providing a lot of valuable information.

    RIP

    When I saw all the new posts, I was hoping the OP was mistaken and it was a different Frank Krause. :'(

    A true legend and a person we will never forget. One of (in my opinion) the nicest guys on the forum and always on the side of the yn and those who needed help. I remember how much he helped out others. I cannot believe that this is Broadstruck. No bad bone by this guy! Wow on this news, very upset to hear about this

    I still cant believe hes gone.
    Ireally wish that all of his great posts were preserved in original form. He used a different website to post many of his tokens long ago called "Tiny Pic" or something to that effect, and they are now unviewable here.
    I will miss Frank's many contributions to this forum. I really can't think of another member, any of us, that was as passionate about coins as he.
    I hope perhaps his son, as he grows up, finds his collection and builds on it. And this tangible link to his father brings him the same solace and peace that Frank found in these very coins.
    RIP, Frank.
