Like fellow comedian and great friend Jimmy, Frank was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, died aged 85 in 2012.
He had battled ill health for some time.
Frank was a regular face on television for many years from the 1970s onwards.
Having risen to prominence in the 60s after winning Opportunity Knocks, he appeared in popular TV series such as The Comedians and Tiswas.
One of his trademark lines was “It’s the way I tell them!”.
Another one was “It’s a Cracker!”.
Jimmy’s column relives Frank’s famous career and their great friendship.
He posted a grab of the newspaper piece on social media.
And he told his friends and followers: “Hi Folks! My tribute via @leponline and @The_Gazette to a much-loved comedian and friend whom we all sadly miss! #keepvarietyalive.”
