With apologies for the cross-posting. Frank had a long history in the language technology community, so I wanted to send this out as widely as possible (with permission from the original sender of the message, the chair of Duke's German department).

In the last weeks, Frank made phone calls to say good-bye, and received loving messages from friends, colleagues, and students. In these last days, he has had many visitors. The end was quiet and peaceful. Frank was a beloved teacher, friend, and colleague, and a passionate, fervent lover of everything that was good and right in German culture and literature. We will miss him immensely. A memorial service will be planned for September.
