A great inspiration to me has passed away this morning. One of my other loves/hobbies is Lindy Hop. I had done it off and on for about 10 years now. Through it I met my wife and many of the closest friends I now have. The man who helped pioneer this dance passed away this morning surrounded by friends and family. This is my tribute to him.
When a wrestler retires from the sport he goes out and places his shoes out on the mat to symbolize that he left everything he had out there. If anything Frankie left everything he had out on the floor, inspiring all those who would watch. For that he will always be remembered. Thank you Frankie and God Bless.
