The loss of a dear friend

[Rattletrap]

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.

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.

Great picture Allen. It catches him exactly the way I remember him. Always sporting that TShirt or one just like it in various colors.

I have had the honour of talking to Frank many times over the years. What a super good guy. The members of MTA will greatly miss him.

RIP Frank

I remember meeting Frank also, wearing his pink VP shirt. Always as friendly as can be. Will be missed by those who ride.
