The Balcony Bards

Johnnie sends the following sad news of the passing of his father-in-law, Frank.

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know that we lost Frank today to a recurring
lymphoma.  He took a very fast downturn on Sunday and went very
peacefully this morning about 10:00 AM.  last weekend, he was in the
Grand Teton National Park with Russ and LarryAnn and the week before
that, he was the headliner for a luncheon entertainment at a local
senior citizens center… I accompanied him with six or seven songs
that he wanted to perform for the gang in August.

We are planning a memorial service in Salt Lake City on Thursday, 21 July.

If you could forward this on to the Bards, I would appreciate it.  I
know he was everyone’s favorite tenor.

Love,

John
