Frank Hanna has died after a short illness.

The Frank Hanna Cleaning Company was his; built from the ground up, as it evolved into a Bahamian brand. He was venerated in the business world, as he became a colourful figure outside the office.

National Family Island Regatta events, we believe, will have an empty space without Frank this year. He was a legend and legendary.

A giant filled with inspiration, and yes, he was true and loyal friend.

As one writer suggested, Frank Hanna was a seismograph that brought meaning to everything cultural and his calm charity was unselfish, and pure.

We shall miss him.

Rest Eternal Grant Unto Him O'Lord. Amen!
