​Is Frank OK! (((( Unfortunate Update Regarding Valuable iboats Member Frank Acampora :( ))))

Is Frank OK! I noticed others have wondered also. I feel Jerry would be the person to know why Frank has not posted in a about 3 weeks.

I learned a lot from Frank, he has big topless mermaid decals on both sides of his outboard motor cover.

My interactions with Frank are pretty much limited to here.

​At one time I had his e-mail but that was years ago.

I'm worried about him too.

I don't know the man or where he lives, I just asked him a question somehow there was a picture of his boat and the topless mermaids.
One thing I learned the hard way from him,never talk about synthetic oil on here.

I called him last week about trying to buy some parts that I had talked to him about last year. Left him a message, never heard back. He also didn't reply to my most recent posts. Not sure what's going on! I hope he's ok. Maybe he's on vacation.

Any word back yet? It's been nearly a month since his last post. I hope he's okay. He has been a big help in keeping our Chryslers and Forces running. As well as his entertaing escapades on you tube in his little blue boat.

He was such a great help to me. He explained things in a easy to understand way. I hope he;s OK and just taking a break.

That is very sad. It's almost as big a loss for our community as for his family. My deepest condolences to his loved ones.

I signed the online guestbook and mentioned that he gave freely of his wisdom here at iboats helping people all around the globe, but I'm sure my words pale in comparison to the how big an impact he had not only here but in his life in general.

That's too bad. I didn't know him but he sure was helpful on the two newbie threads I started here. Condolences to the Acampora family and may he rest in peace

Ah darn, this is such truly sad news to hear and was really hoping not to be the case.:(
Thanks tnstratofam for checking further into Franks whereabouts though, I updated the topic title with your findings.:(

Franks willingness of wanting to help countless others at keeping one of his favorite leisurely pastimes running it's best will be deeply missed.:(

RIP Frank,
