Freewheelin Frank Reynolds died at 1:00 in the morning on January 30th, 2003, at sixty years of age. He maintained his humor and enjoyment of living in his cabin in the redwoods by his beloved waterfall, in company with his cat, the deer, the foxes, and a passing bear. Those who have seen Frank recently, found him in clearness of mind, Zen expectancy of death, and manly resolution. Frank was the Secretary of the San Francisco Hells Angels in the 60’s, in his middle years he began practicing Zen meditation. He has been a Zen hermit for many years.

Bruce and Asche who were his longtime friends and caregivers for the final months said Frank’s passing was smooth and peaceful. Frank died of liver cancer. His cabin was in northern California.
