Very sad. We should all be as fortunate to leave so many good memories with so many people. Thoughts and prayers to friends and family.

I never know what to say in these situations. I was devastated when I heard the news because I've been on a couple group trips with Franklin and he shared some of his photos with me for projects I'm working on. I'm getting older now and conscious of how short our time is here, even with a full life time. It's important to do what you love, to the extent it's possible, and Franklin really did that. If memories are possible for him now then I'm sure he's stoked for all the amazing things he got to do, even if the time was shorter than any of us would wish.

Maybe, you are like what 600 now and at the least you inspired me to fly fish.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
