I wish things could have been different but we must be accountable for our actions when we cause instability or pain and suffering to others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frank caused so much pain for himself that it has been hard to watch. I truly hope Frank receives all the help he needs to become well after years of being unwell. It is not my place to speak Ill of someone who needs help so I will keep my comments uplifting. I\u2019m sending love to everyone,&#8221; Colby added.<\/p>\n<p>That same year, Wolfe told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/tv\/3484692\/american-pickers-mike-wolfe-wants-frank-fritz-back-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Sun<\/a>, &#8220;We all do care about Frank, and we want him back on the show.\u00a0I would love to talk with him again, we would absolutely love to, but he just can\u2019t get it right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/343\/192\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/686\/384\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/672\/378\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1344\/756\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/931\/523\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1862\/1046\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/720\/405\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1440\/810\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1200\/675\/frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"frank fritz mike wolfe\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Wolfe said he was &#8220;blessed&#8221; to have been by his friend&#8217;s side.<\/span> <span>(Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Frank is just going through a lot personally with addictions,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It\u2019s unfortunate that he\u2019s made decisions that have him the way he is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The rift seemed to have taken a pause for a whole year before Wolfe announced that Fritz had suffered from a stroke in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been very private in the past year in regards to Frank\u2019s life and the journey he\u2019s been on,&#8221; Wolfe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CgS1D2CNi2s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wrote at the time<\/a><a rel=\"nofollow\">. <\/a>&#8220;There has been lots of opinions in regards to mine and Frank\u2019s friendship and the show but now is not the time to set the record straight.
