EARL “FUZZY” FRANKLIN, COSTUME DESIGNER OF JAMAICA BACCHANAL, HAS DIED!

Bacchanal’s costume creator Earl ‘Fuzzy’ Franklin died earlier this morning in a Kingston hospital.

Michael Ammar Jr, a director of Bacchanal Jamaica and proprietor Ammar’s retail stores, confirmed Franklin’s passing.

Ammar was, however, unable to give the details of his death.

“I’ve known him for 20 years and we’ve been partners for 17. All of us involved at Bacchanal are devastated by the loss. He is irreplaceable,” Ammar told Jamaica Observer.

Franklin is survived by his wife Charmaine.
