The feeling was mutual. He used to do a verbatum strip in the back of AdWeek that, had we any vision, was a primitive forerunner to the reality shows of today. We shared a love of and ear for conversation. Essentially, from the school of "you can't make this sh*t up". I share the condolences but w/ a caveat: I pray to God to be lucky enough to do what I love right up until my ticket gets punched. God bless Phil Frank.

He was gracious and sweet and extremely encouraging. My condolences to the family.
