Thank you Frank God bless you!"

"Like countless others, I was greatly influenced by Frank Chirkinian. I fell in love with golf through my Dad, and later fell in love with television golf - after joining the CBS golf team in 1979 as "one of Chuck Will's travelling gypsies." Chuck was my second father ... and Frank my impassioned and lovable uncle.
It was a privilege and an honor to be around Frank and his CBS "family." As Jim Nantz and so many others have said, NO ONE influenced Television Golf ... more than Frank. R.I.P."
