RIP, 'American Pickers' Frank Fritz

[fly girl]

Not sure if anyone watched American Pickers, but we used to love the show when it was Frank and Mike. Frank was the favorite in our house, and we stopped watching when he left the show.

Sad to hear of his passing, only 60 years old. Rest Easy, Frank.

I've been a Pickers fan for years. The show hasn't been the same without Frank, and it will never be the same again.

RIP Frank

That is so sad!! I used to watch that show all the time. I never really watched the show after he left. Frank was my fav. Several years ago I did go to their shop in Iowa, it was really cool. Unfortunately I didn't see any of the people from TV. Frank seemed like such a genuinely nice guy.

How sad…..to young!
This just shows all of us to not take life for granted, because we never know when our end will come.
Prayers for his family and friends

I loved American Pickers. I haven't watched it since poor Frank left, and he and Mike became estranged. Mike was very gracious the other day in his tribute to Frank on Instagram, but it must hurt that they never made up and put it behind them.

"We’ve been on countless trips and shared so many miles and I feel blessed that I was there by his side when he took one last journey home. I love you buddy and will miss you so much I know your [sic] in a better place," Wolfe concluded.

Aww, DH and I used to watch that show years ago. My thoughts are with his family.
