He definitely knew how to live and enjoy life. I can only hope that I'm dancing with my partner as long as he did. I'm sure it's around here somewhere, but can anyone post the link to the rebroadcast? I was there for his 86th birthday in Japan. He definitely knew how to live and enjoy life.

When he passed, he took a big chunk of the Earth with him, and it seems the planet fell off it's axis for a moment. He left us too soon, but we shall honor him by sharing with others what we learned from him. I am proud to say Frankie considered me his friend and I am a better person for knowing him.
