Frank was fucking hilarious. If this is true, it sucks tremendously.

Yeah, I understand that, mecca. I've had that really sick feeling in the back of my throat since I heard.
I just can't believe he's gone. I know it's a silly thing to most people, but when you talk to a guy every day for a long time within the context of message board topics, you still feel like you know the person. Frank was so open that I think that was especially true with him.

My condolences to Frank's family and friends. Though we didn't communicate much privately, I know he was a good guy. I tried to find his Mr. RM thread but my search didn't turn it up. I remember that as one of his shining moments around here.

in his memory the best discussion i ever had with him was about the meaning of this song
Down. Fall by the wayside... no getting out... Down. Cry me a river... dried up and dammed. The names can be changed... but the place is still the same. I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down. Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train. One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away. And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done. Won't let the light escape from me. Won't let the darkness swallow me

Damn... this is going to hurt for awhile...
all those crappy jokes about someone who posts dying and never even knowing it.. this just sucks.
It seemed like Frank had a rough year and a half or so but no matter what he always brightened up the place. I don't know many people on here that were able to take a joke like Frank and roll with it. RM and Philly have certainly suffered a great loss. Frank

Hi guys,
To everyone who sent me personal messages, I would like to thank you for thinking of me during this time. Frank and I are very close friends and he means so much to me that I do not have the words to express it. I have no idea what to say right now as I haven't even begun to be able to process it but I wanted to let everyone know that I am still here and I am as okay as I possibly can be. I would like to propose a toast to my very good friend, confidant, brother and soul mate Frank J. Parisan III.

Both off and on the board Frank was a good friend to me, he has propped me up on more than one occassion when I have needed it. He was an honourable man who never judged others for their misgivings. I don't really have words big enough to express this, but from the otherside of the world he will be sadly missed. I want him to know that I am here for his left arm that he has left behind and I will make sure she is ok.

I'm absolutely stunned right now. I will be for sometime to come. I never talked to him really, except in reply to posts. But I loved the posts and threads he always made. I'll miss seeing him on RM (GD in particular since it's where I like to hang out).
My condolences to his family and friends. Thank you for letting us all know, Eric.

When I started posting regularly on RM in the summer of 2005 pearl jam chat was largely a dead forum. there were a handful of us who started posting at that time and the forum that we spend so much time on today was reborn largely from the friendship and personalities of that group. There is a real way in which Pearl Jam chat is an important part of Frank's legacy, since so much of the forum's feel--the humor, the casual friendliness, the unusually intelligent level of discussion for a message board--is a reflection of who Frank was. That's no small thing, given how important this place is in the lives of so many of us. Frank was a friend and companion for what was probably a staggering number of people have spent countless hours logged on this site--someone we laughed with, cried with, fought with, and learned from.
In a lot of ways Frank was my Pearl jam foil. We both loved the band, though not uncritically and because of that we loved talking about the music and what it meant. Our tastes were always different, and while in the end I couldn't get him into Ten, and he couldn't make me see No Code as their masterpiece (nor could we agree on whether or not thumbing my way was a hopeful song) that was part of the fun of it--having someone you could talk to and argue with who you took seriously and wanted to impress. Plus he was funny, charming, generous, fiercely loyal, and always understood the joke behind Stone's Bitches .
But beyond that Frank was a good friend. I originally wrote internet friend, but that's not really a fair designation to make, since so many of us spend so much of our time here and know enough about each others lives that the internet qualifier just becomes irrelevant. After a certain point you just become a friend. We never met in person (although we had talked about getting together a few times and just never following through), but I've spent more time in the past few years talking with Frank than the majority of the people I know in 'real life'. I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I am a better person for the experience, and I know I'm not alone when I say that he will be deeply missed.
RIP Frank. Thank you for everything.

Stunned is the best word to describe my mindset. He was a friend. A funny and caring person. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Like Dr. Van said earlier, he was really more interested in everyone else around him having a good time. This is terrible news. Frank, I'll see you at the big tailgate after all is said and done. RIP, friend.

His dirty posts always made me laugh, so I decided to compile a few for everybody else.
