Frank Miller
 

Many of you know Frank Miller through Ford Barn or the Early Ford V8 Club. Frank has not been on the barn for a while because he has liver cancer and is in hospice. Last night Frank gave me permission to write this post and he wishes to bid all of his friends a very fond farewell. It has been a great ride!

You probably know him as a member of the New England Regional Group where he attended many national meets in his grey Mercury convertible and always made new lifelong friends wherever he traveled. Several of us from the New England RG visited with Frank last night and I do have to say that the cancer hasn't effected his sense of humor at all. He had all of us in stitches. Only Frank could do that!!!! He is very receptive to having visitors, but just not too many at a time he said, because he does get very tired easily. Send me a PM if you want more information.

That is the most terrible news. I hope they are keeping him comfortable. I saw and talked with him at many West Coast National Meets. He really put the miles on that convertible.

So sorry to hear that, as a member of the Albany, ny region, I remember Frank when we did a joint venture in 2011 putting on a regional meet in Saratoga Springs . Great to work with, a true Ford guy.

Hate to hear that about Frank! Frank is one of the good guys for certain. Will miss seeing him at Hershey and other Early Ford Meets. Also enjoyed his travels with his '49 Convertible. Praying for you Frank!

I've loved all Frank's posts over the years . . . sorry to hear that he is coming to the end of his road-trips here on earth. Give him my very best and I hope he is comfortable, not in pain and can get out of here as gracefully as possible. God Bless you Frank!

I'm very sorry to hear about Frank having this. I never spoke Frank at length, but I remember him being friendly and always having a smile at the Early Ford V8 meets.
I will pray for Him and his Family. Very sad news. Sal

Damn, hate to hear this about Frank. He just one heck of a great guy and had a chance to travel with him at a couple of Western meets. A fun loving guy with tons of good jokes. For those that visit him, remind him of his missed chance to pick up a lady hitchhiker on the Oregon coast. God Bless Frank. His quick wit and humor won't be forgotten. Tom

Re: Frank Miller
 

I will be visiting with Frank this evening and I will share with him all of your kind words. I'm sure that Frank will appreciate it and thanks for sharing. And I will probably hear a few stories.....

I'm deeply sadden to say that Frank passed away Monday morning.

In true Frank fashion, he's asked that a car show be held as a celebration of his life. For those in the area, it will be at the Auburn Elks Club in Auburn, MA. The date is tbd. He donated his beloved '49 convertible to the Early Ford V8 Foundation Museum.
