I didn't always agree with Frank politically, but he was so amazing at calling Michigan games. This is awful.

Has died at 72 years old.

Like him or not, he had a broadcasting career that anyone in the business has to respect.

Yep, I was flapping on whether to go at 60, 62 or keep going until 65. This makes it easy, 59 and 1/2 with some part time work for stupid hobby money.

My father has a form of vascular dementia, and it is an awful way to go.

You sound like me up until last summer. Was going to go at 63. Wife and I met with our new financial advisor who said I could retire now comfortably, then said wait until 59 1/2 or 60 because of medical insurance. Going on long term sick leave prior to retiring as I’m not giving back nearly a years salary of sick leave. Part time work for me also. Need to get away from my stressful job

It is such a shame to hear this. That has to be very tough on a family for him to go through what he did. I didn't agree with his politics, but he seemed like a great PXP man. I remember watching him saying that he hoped he had a great retirement and wanted to spend time with his family. Sad that never happened with him. May he R.I.P.

Kind of a shame folks seem to be compelled to say they didn't agree with his politics but.....

None of these left leaning folks would have stood a Prayer in hell in a debate with him on conservative philosophy.

God speed Frank, you are missed, and I pray for your family.

Maybe because he hung up on people who were disagreeing with him so he could have the last word?

Peter Werbe at WRIF used to do the same thing!!

That's exactly what he would do... hang up, then go on a hissy-fit rant on the topic, sounding like a bad ass.

I once had a 5 hour debate with G G at the Olive Garden in Lakeside Mall. It ended with him trying to pleasure me with one socked foot.

No, that was the Cheeseburger in Paradise, you bastard. I can't believe you can't keep your memories straight on this.

No, Cheeseburger in Paradise is when you wanted to dress up like a road worker and play "bumper to bumper, in the backseat.
