Frank Abela

Frank is a wonderful gentleman. We have shared many conversations both here and in person, he is a wealth of knowledge and experience and one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet. Its so sad to see he is unwell and we both have Frank and his family firmly in our thoughts.

Very sad news.  I've always enjoyed his contributions.  All the best to Frank and his family.

I was fortunate to meet Frank a few times at the Reading store. Always the gentleman, always willing to share his extensive experience, but always self-effacing -- he would introduce himself as "the Saturday boy". Frank, my thoughts are with you.

Yes, that’s how Frank introduced himself to me. He had a ‘proper job’ during the week and worked at Audio T on Saturdays. 

It was always a great pleasure to read Frank's balanced and well considered views - unbiased, to the point and always informative.

Best wishes in these difficult circumstances

I am extremely sorry and heartbroken  to report that I received an email from Frank's wife informing me that in the early hours of Wednesday Frank passed away.

I sure you will all join me in offering her and his family our deepest condolences.

This is so saddening to hear. My condolences to his wife and family.

My sincere condolences to his wife and family, and to those many others who knew him in person.

I live in the US, but I feel a connection with Frank. Early on Frank reached out and gave me valuable direction on my upgrade path.

For all those that read these words, please take a minute of prayer, to put Frank back on the Upgrade path of recovery.

Get well soon!

Allante93!

We are all Family, I will truly miss him, and his informative nature!

Damn it. I was hoping against hope that he would somehow beat the odds. Always provided interesting insight here.

 Condolences and prayers to his family.

Frank’s discernment and kind spirit will be deeply missed.

This is terribly sad news and seems so quick on the back of the earlier reports.

I can but offer sincerest condolences to Frank's wife, family and close friends.  Such a shame that Frank didn't manage to see his dream come true.  His passing is a major loss to the Naim forum to which he was a massive contributor over the years.

Terrible news. Frank was always such a sensible voice - one that I paid plenty of attention to!

Very sad news, deepest condolences to family and friends

Frank, You are already much missed. Part of your legacy that will remain are your knowledgeable, informative and helpful posts that you have made here on this forum over many years. Hopefully they will continue to help and inform Naim owners in years to come. Thank you. Farewell. 

R.I.P

Rest in peace Frank.

I will always remember our email exchanges and your generosity with your time, explaining the Naim products to me.

your knowledge of hi-fi was beyond reproach but more importantly was your patience and kindness.

Very sad news . Thoughts with you and your family Frank . 

Very sad news indeed. My sincere condolences to Frank's family.

I never knew Frank, before my time on the forum. But what a wonderful legacy to have touched so many people’s lives in such a positive manner. His family should be very proud, in this very sad time, I hope it gives them some strength.

RIP Frank

I had the privilege of meeting frank earlier in the year, a true gent and good man. Rest in peace and my condolences to the family
