Comments on: So Long, Frank Foster https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/10/03/so-long-frank-foster/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 13 Nov 2016 20:10:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Shawdian https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/10/03/so-long-frank-foster/#comment-1116061 Sun, 13 Nov 2016 20:10:15 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=150281#comment-1116061 All the Greats have gone this year.

I’m sad to hear that this wonderful and effervescent man has died but he had a long and full life and it sounds as if he was working to the end. I hope you are eventually able to collect your shirt which I’m sure you will treasure. How special to have one made by him.

I have known Frank for nearly 50 yrs. He was a good friend of my step dad. In fact, Frank was his best man when he married my mum. In the summers which I would spend in London he employed me as an errand boy. At the end of the day I used to take the material and patterns from his Clifford Street location to Pall Mall (his current location). I moved to the US 35 years ago but whenever was back in London I always stopped in for a chat and a cup of tea. He said I was like a son to him. I will miss those visits but fortunately I have many memories and a number of shirts that he made for me. I will wear one tonight. Love you Frank.
As Frank would always say.
God bless.

You wrote a lovely piece and I’m pleased to see it published one more time in memory of an endlessly generous and fascinating craftsman. Jane P.

And how many personalities he must have met. I have a feeling he knew a good egg!
