R.I.P. Frank McKnight - You Will Be Missed - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

TRMach1 · 07-04-2012, 11:21 PM

According to friends posting on his Facebook page, our buddy Frank McKnight succumbed to his illness in the hospital on July 3rd, 2012.

Godspeed Frank.

Tony Alonso · 07-04-2012, 11:30 PM

I am sad to hear of his passing. It just seems unbelievable.

Tony Alonso · 07-04-2012, 11:40 PM

Folks, I suggest we take up some collection for a Mach 1 Registry group condolence to family members. Please indicate if you would be interested in donating.

I will provide more information as I hear it.

Unrealford · 07-04-2012, 11:57 PM

Wow, this is terrible, RIP Frank, Tony im in.

un gm · 07-04-2012, 11:58 PM

Very sad for sure. Prayers going out to his family. Count me in on donation. God bless and keep you Frankie.

Tony Alonso · 07-05-2012, 12:05 AM

For those of you who don't know Frank, he was originally listed by Dave Wagner as a co-founder of the Mach 1 Registry, mostly because of his intense enthusiasm for the then "new" Mach 1 and Mustangs in general. His personality was distinctive, in spite of the physical challenges he faced and most recently, his bout with cancer.

He was equally, if not more, enthusiastic about his association with Hooters Restaurants, where he was generally seen in the company of the waitresses. Many who knew him joked that he had stock in the company.

Just a sad loss...

I'm in. RIP Frank. It was a honor to meet you.

wildstrawberry · 07-05-2012, 01:06 AM

My heart is heavy from the news this afternoon of the loss of Frank McKnight .

Frank, You were one of a kind.
You will be missed my friend.
Thank you for making me smile so many countless times over the years!
I'm truly sorry that I was not able to come and see you this past month.
I guess it was for the better though. I can remember you as when I first met you with that devilish grin and smiling face.

I'm sure glad to have known you Frank.

jbrad88 · 07-05-2012, 01:34 AM

Wow...that's truly sad news. I never had the opportunity to meet Frank, but he has been a huge part of this site since I first joined.

Count me in as well.

NTMAREMACH · 07-05-2012, 04:44 AM

Very sad, RIP Frank. I'm in also Tony.

Rays R Code · 07-05-2012, 04:50 AM

Sad news to hear, Frank will be missed.

03mach1 · 07-05-2012, 07:03 AM

Very sad to hear this...Frank was a stand up guy and very funny! He loved his mustangs and hooter girls. !! Yes, Tony, let me know if you need anything.

Mach1 EH · 07-05-2012, 07:18 AM

'Frankie' will be missed by many.
Suzy and me will miss him dearly.

Also count me in for the collection of a donation (hoping Paypal is possible)

Kove · 07-08-2012, 10:17 AM

RIP Frank... I'm in Hurricane WV right now but won't be able to make it to the Memorial Service tomorrow cause I'm leaving for DC at 6am.

Looks like he already approves!!

Love the way Frank is added in to the banner...
I think we should rename our Thursday night Carlisle Hooters cruise to the Frank McNight Memorial Hooters cruise in, to honor him further. In fact anytime someone organizes a Hooters get together it should be titled as such. I mean when you think or speak of Frank it's Cars and Hooters. So June 6th 2013 in Carlisle the first of many salutes to Frank, the first annual Frank McKnight memorial Hooters Cruise in... Whatta y'all think?
