Food for thought.
Many first day covers are sold before the actual event or whatever these are commemorating, thus this FDC could have been issued before Frye died.
Stamps are also sold before the first "Official" issue.
Cancellations can be added weeks, months, or a good amount of time after the event by the USPS.
The FDC in question here could have been sold and signed by Frye before he died and the cancellation added later.
Not starting anything, just that the issue here is not 100% accurate.
