My sincere condolences to the Berne family, the loss of Frankie is such a shock and a tragedy and one that hits us all hard because he truly was that good, I will be eternally grateful for the memories I have of an old friend and roomie, his infectious love of computers gave me a career. So long Mr B, and thanks for all the tea!

All my sympathies to Sally, Francie, Stephen and Debbie. An unexpected loss of a best friend since P4. It was always a great experience and a privilege growing up with Frankie, trying to compete with his Ivan Lendl-ike tennis strokes, his musical digressions from recorder'ist, clarinetist, to finally, rock guitarist! A true friend and a great guy. Dear Fra, will always miss you.
