Frank Bielec, an interior designer and one of the stars of TLC's "Trading Spaces," died Friday at age 72.
TLC Network, which aired the series, confirmed Bielec's passing in a tweet, mourning him as a member of their "family."
He was living in Katy, TX.
My wife knew him fairly well.
He would go into her frame shop regular basis.
The last time we saw him, he had a booth set up at an Arts and Crafts show between Richmond and Fulshear, TX.
It was in October, and he had some Halloween artwork he had made, to hang on the doors, etc...
We bought one of them.
He died of a heart attack.
