Yes, quite sad. Frank was 85 and it was cancer that got him in the end. He is surely one of the best comedians to come out of Ireland in half a century. He was naturally funny, as comical in real life as he was on stage, and a master of the one liner. Much of his time was spent caring for his wife Ruth who had severe sight problems, and he did a huge amount of charity work devoted to bringing the two sides of the divide together in Northern Ireland. A great comic, great entertainer, and one of a fast-disappearing breed of genuine jokers.
