A sad day for the chalice lovers.

[landlord]

Whether this is the correct forum for this I do not know but here goes. I was fortuneate enough to have met fab1971 here on reef2reef. I was also fortunate enough to have done some deals with him. Let me say that it is people such as Frank who make this hobby great. For those who have crossed his path I am sure you will agree. For those that haven't you missed out on meeting one of the best. You simply treat people like you want to be treated and it is the best that any of us could ask for. Your participation in this hobby was a benefit to us all and to the corals you helped to propogate and spread around. Wishing you the best of luck on your next endeavor and may God Bless you and your family. Let the new year bring nothing but sunshine and peace.

The hobby will go on but a small piece of it will never be the same without you. If anyone deserves the Excellence award it is you, hands down!

These pictures do NO justice to fab's corals but I wanted to get em up as a final thanks!

Your babies will be well taken care of and hopefully enjoyed by many more LPS lovers such as myself.

Kindest Regards and don't be a stranger to the boards.

Kurt

What happened?

 

[landlord]

Between hurricane Sandy, power outages, identitiy thefts, family medical needs, etc he has simply decided to take a step back from collecting. I hate to speak for him but I think I got it right. I imagine he will keep a tank up and running just scaled back a bit.

Yeah what's going on

 

[sexycorals]

yea deal with frank for years!! great guy and i wish him nothing but the best.

 

[KLR]

Oh no! I agree with everything you said about Frank! May he and his family experience nothing but great things from here on out.

Frank is a great guy.

A few months ago, I was able to purchase the TEC watermelon and CB Trash Mummy Eye.

I wish him luck for the future and hopefully he keeps on reefing.

Geez man!!! I thought I was reading a eulogy.

Frank is a stand up reefer of whom I am proud to call a friend and wish him and his family many blessings for the year to come. s
Sandy has definetly taken its toll on a lot of premium collectors here in the tri state area to say the least but like me I'm sure he will be back

 

[kingator]

Had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with him couple of months back, def a true reefer and collector , wish you and your family the best GL

 

[spspirate]

Geez man!!! I thought I was reading a eulogy.

You and me both! Good luck bro! If you need anything this family is here for you!

Frank is one of the nicest guys I have met. Always there to help if you need it. Me and him had a grow out together and it was by far the best experience I had in this hobby. The stress of Sandy and some chalice deaths just really was too much at this time. He is going to still be around and I plan on hooking him up with the stuff from the grow out when he is ready to give in to this addiction again
