Rattletrap Posted August 5, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Just got the news today of the passing of a dear friend .Frank Flickinger's grandson called to let us know he passed away Sunday August 3 after a lengthy battle with cancer.He was from Osceola, Iowa. Some of you may know him from the many rallies he attended wearing the colorful T-shirts that read My son is Vice President of Harley Davidson but I ride a Yamaha. Frank was very friendly and loved to talk about motorcycles. He never met a stranger. May you rest in peace my friend.Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time.

Freebird Posted August 5, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2008 Allen, Thanks for letting us know. I met and talked to Frank at several MTA rallies. Like you said, he was always easy to spot in those TShirts. Quiet a character and will be missed by many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
