It couldn't get any better than that. Michelle's statement is loving and admirable. What a great and caring coach and person he was.

[Frau Muller]

A very kind man, not to mention his coaching. May he RIP.

 

[Dobre]

One of the greats.

One of my strongest memories from my first Worlds was learning that a. pretty much no one skated full run-throughs in Worlds practices and b. Frank's athlete was the exception.

Thank you, Mr. Carroll, for taking on so many athletes and helping them reach their potential.

I love that. I love this and it’s connection to the 1961 team.

 

[AnnM]

Such a legend who contributed so much to our sport, especially when it was needed most after the 1961 crash.
