Frank Fritz, the star of “American Pickers,” has died at 60.
His co-star and friend, Mike Wolfe, posted on Instagram and Facebook Tuesday, sharing the news. Wolfe said Fritz died on Monday night.
“It’s with a broken heart that I share with all of you that Frank passed away last night,” he wrote.
He continued, “I’ve [known] Frank for more then half my life and what you’ve seen on TV has always been what I have seen, a dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny. The same off camera as he was on, Frank had a way of reaching the hearts of so many by just being himself.”
Wolfe didn’t specify a cause of death, but Fritz was hospitalized for a stroke two years before he passed away.
Wolfe added, “Before the show we would take off together to places we never knew existed with no destination in mind and just the shared passion to discover something interesting and historic. We’ve been on countless trips and shared so many miles.”
