FRANK SCHULZ AKA "HIPPO"

[Glide-Rider]

I have very sad news.  Hippo went in for a triple bypass surgery today.   I got a call from Debbie (Hippo's ex wife) tonight that Hippo died at 10:35 p.m. Friday 10/22/2010.  Due to heart failure.

My heart just sank and there's a tear in my eye, a friend's in town so we'll knock off a few bottles of red tonight to farewell a friends passing.   

Vale to Frank Schulz , aka Hippo

Note the spelling, no T in Schulz.

Sir Garfield,
You are correct.  There is no T.  His ex (Debbie) said she would call me sometime on Sunday.  I will keep post updated.

The Hippo was certainly a huge help to many on this board.  His legacy will no doubt live on in the many 'Hippo Build' engines powering members bikes. 

I'm thinking he'll be having a good yarn with Samuel about now.

RIP Hippo.

Met him so to speak on the previous board and when I was in the US at the for a vacation we met 2005 at his home in the Phoenix area and we went out for a short ride. Had a few beers at a local watering hole and talked life, motorcycles and everything. Very honest, friendly guy whom I will never forget. A big loss for everyone who knew him in person.

[Grumpy : (]

Sad indeed, I talked to him a few times and met him once.  We'll miss you, Frank.

Never met or talked to him, but respected him for his knowledge.
God's Speed.

Very sad news.

Frank and I probably logged 40,000+ miles together and he was part of the family. Maybe I'll post some pictures later.

RIP my friend

RIP Hippo.     very sad news indeed.  I've never met Frank personally, but his knowledge as touched many of us. 

[02roadcling]

Bummer.  Bought a few vpc's for my friends, used cams, and always enjoyed email conversations. Lots of knowledge gone.

I'm stunned. Patti will be absolutely crushed. Rest In Peace, Mr. Hippo. For a little guy, you left a big whole in this world.

(Mr. Hippo is the name his mom hung on him when he was a little boy)

Pete or Jon... PLEASE let us know what the arrangements are.
