American Pickers’ Mike Wolfe seen for first time since Frank Fritz’s death
We’re outside American Picker star Mike Wolf’s store, Antique Archaeology,
and just steps away from his vacation rental to Lan’s guest house in L Clair, Iowa.
The US Sun has obtained first photos of Mike,
days after the passing of his beloved friend and longtime co-star Frank FRS.
Frank passed away on September 30th,
two years after suffering a stroke that he unfortunately was unable to recover from.
He passed with Mike and other loved ones by his side in hospice.
In the photos obtained by the US Sun,
Mike appeared solemn. He spent the day adding the finishing touches to his guest house before opening it up to fans.
The US Sun has also obtained first photos of Robbie,
who replaced Frank on American Pickers in 2020.
Robbie and Frank were close friends through the years.
He too appeared downcast in the photos as he focused on work and was at United Motors, his Mara in Davenport, Iowa.
Frank was just 60 years old when he passed,
a few days before his 61st birthday.
He appeared on American Pickers from 2010 to 2020.
He quickly became a fan favorite.
When Mike Wolf announced the news of his passing on social media, the tributes flooded in.
Frank will always be remembered as a bearded charmer who loved his oil cans and his antique signs.
