Rip.That sucks but seems to have had a cool fun life.wonder if Arnold hooked him up at all,I know if I became that rich my best friend would be set.Just curious if Arnold truly felt the way he says he did and expressed it to him or just after he died.

Who else doesn’t even feel like reading a dam thing on getbig tonight? Everything else seems so trivial.

I'm sure somebody put this on the thread but here it goes again. Arnold wrote, "I love you Franco. I will always remember the joy you brought to my life, the advices you gave me, and the twinkle in your eye that never disappeared. You were my best friend."

I remember reading his book 'Coming on Strong' in high school. His mental toughness came through in his words and left an impression even today. He was awesome. RIP.

Well said.

Thank you. This was taught me by my parents.

Again for Franco, R.I.P.

RIP Franco

For many of us growing up with pumping iron
Arnold & Franco Etc
It’s Huge loss - Suddenly were bought down to earth
As we realise we’re all Mortal.

Must be a Huge hit for Arnold.
