After the death of Frank Fritz, the beloved star of “American Pickers,” fans and people who collect things all over the world are in sadness. Many of his co-stars, friends, and family have written touching tributes to his life, impact, and contagious enthusiasm.
Robert Wolfe, who has known Frank for a long time and worked with him on screen, posted a sad message on Instagram. “Frank and I knew each other outside of TV through family, travel, and fishing. He was the godfather of my twin girls.” We will miss his kindness and smile a lot.
Another co-star, Danielle Colby, talked about how much Frank loved tattoos, huge collections, and being sensitive. “Rest in Peace, Road Dog,” she wrote to honour the bond they had formed over their love of the same things.
Oliver Starr, who runs the “Frank Fritz Friends” Facebook group, wrote a moving account of Frank’s brave fight against health problems like Crohn’s disease and a serious stroke. “We’ve lost a truly genuine person who made others happy and loved them.”
Annette Oberlander Willows told everyone about Frank’s death on October 1, while friends like Mike Wolfe rushed to be by his side. Frank wanted to be cremated and have a celebration of his life, which is now being planned.
Frank’s life was full of excitement, hard work, and love. He was very excited about everything, from collecting beer cans and stamps to riding motorbikes. For many years, he was happy to own and ride his first motorbike, a 1959 Harley-Davidson Sportster.
Frank had an effect on people, as Mike Wolfe said, “He had a way of reaching hearts by just being himself.” Mike loved working with them for a long time, going on many road trips, and spending their last moments together. “I love you, buddy, and will miss you so much.”
Fans liked Frank because he was on “American Pickers” for almost ten years. Because of his unique attitude and love of antique hunting, he became an important part of the show.
The History Channel’s hit show about Mike and Frank’s cross-country adventures drew viewers in with their friendship and shared love of travel.
When Frank had a stroke in 2022, Mike asked his friends to pray, which showed how close they were. “Frank, I really hope and pray that you’re able to get through this.” My friend, I love you.”
Frank’s death marks the end of an age for people who knew him in real life or through films. People will always remember him in the world of antiques and in their hearts. His family, friends, and everyone who watched “American Pickers” should know how sorry we are for their loss.
