This is sad news. I so enjoyed spending time with this man. He was a natural actor. Very believable – with a twinkle in his eye that matched his Irish brogue. RIP Frank https://t.co/O8HMKWuaJi— Wally Kurth (@wallykurth) September 25, 2018

Writing for Frank Parker was always a pleasure. His character was the ideal blue collar father and husband. And his wit and encouragement were unmatchable. His love for his family went unrivaled.
