Re: American Pickers - Frank Fritz Passed Away

@JeanLouiseFinch - Thank you for posting this sad news. I watch American Pickers occasionally and still enjoy it. I am sad about Frank’s health issues and his passing. He brought so much joy to the show, and I will remember his love of antique toys and oil cans. May he Rest In Peace 🌹🌹

@tansy 

Fritz told the Sun that he stopped filming the show because he had back surgery. He was also dealing with his Crohn's disease and alcohol abuse. “I haven't talked to Mike in two years,” Fritz said in the interview. 

 

The above was posted online but from things said by other show members a lot of the problems were do to his alcoholism.

@JeanLouiseFinch   I used to watch the show and loved the interactions between the two.  When Frank left, the show was never the same.  

May he rest in peace and know that many who never met him will miss him.

I was so sad to hear about his passing.  He was too young to go.  We love you, Frank!  He was the best part of this show and when he was let go, fired, or whatever, I no longer watched it.

Wow - bummer for Frank's family at such a young age and for his pickin' partner.
