Midwest Volunteer Passes

From Dan Green,

I am sorry to be the bearer of sad news, but I received word today of the passing of Frank Toussaint. Frank was a long-time WildStang mentor, a co-worker at Motorola, and a volunteer at FIRST competitions.

For those of you that didn't know Frank, he was a great guy with a deep baritone voice who always had a positive disposition - and a passion for FIRST. Even in recent years, after the sudden passing of his wife and his health issues - he was still a fixture at the Midwest Regional. He helped with Queuing, and could always be seen in his chair near the Playing Field. I am glad I saw him there last month, and enjoyed talking with him as always. His presence at WildStang sessions during many build seasons was a constant, and we grew to depend on his participation and insights. Even in recent years, after retiring from WildStang he made it to a couple of our WildStang Invitationals to cheer us on.

Frank will be missed.
