[Red Badger]

Thanks for the memories. Rest in peace, Dude.............

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

I stopped watching when Frank left.

What happened??

[pburiak]

From what I have read, Fritz had a stroke back in 2022. Probably never fully recovered and declined from there.

Sad news. Lotsa (famous) people dying these days. Seems like it’s been one nearly every day for weeks.

[ducttape45]

Me too. RIP Frank, you will be missed.

RIP to Frank.

When I watched TV that was one of the few shows I liked.
Bundle it.

My condolences to his family and friends.

[T.B. Yoits]

Yes, Frank Fritz had a stroke in July of 2022 and had been in an assisted living facility since then.

Safe ...and ......effective 💀

[spacejunkie2001]

Ugh. I’m sure you’re right. Do we have confirmation he was vaxxed? I’m guessing most everyone in television was as the nazis forced it down their throats to keep on being employed.

[suasponte137]

Same....I liked him as well.

Both guys were fun to watch.

RIP.

[Vaquero]

Poke-a Poke-a. JAB.

RIP Frank….you did entertain.

[subterfuge]

Can you detect the irony of your a-hole statement? I’m guessing no.

[Dawgreg]

RIP Frank

My sentiments exactly. He was a big part of the show in my humble opinion......:(

[Mr. K]

It was an interesting show, but they ‘picked’ so much overpriced garbage.

“Look here’s this 1920’s rusted gas can, I’ll give you $600 dollars for it!”

Owner (hoping to get 20 bucks...) “Um... OK sure”
