It's true.

Absolutely stunned.

A familiar face at every Warren event and one of the nicest guys in the sport.

RIP

You are right. Just checked Frank Warren's Twatter.

Wonder how he died. Seems strange.

Dean Powell was from a time when people became smart by listening. That time has gone. From Dudley with too much heart. I will miss him.
