It should be noted that Mr. Thornton lived until the great age of 92.

He is one of my favorites on Are You Being Served ... and I seen that show in entirity and in reruns and he made it truly special. It is one of my favorite British Comedies ... Frank's expressions and excellent speech (being deaf/hard of hearing) brought great joy in my life. I still watch it on my Public Television back home on Friday Nights.

Funnily enough Frank's co-star from The Last Of The Summer Wine, Peter Sallis, who also voiced Grommit in the Oscar winning Wallace and Grommit short films, is still alive at 92
