Words can't express how sorry we are for your loss, please know you're in our thoughts. - Posted by: Deerpalsing's (former neighbour) on: Aug 07, 2014

Frank was a good friend to me many years ago when we were teenagers. He taught me to drive a standard vehicle in a Toyota Celica at the time. I remember going everywhere in that car and loving that freedom of having a set of wheels to do what you liked. I believe around the same time he got me a job a the Wpg Art Gallery in the cafeteria! Frank was always a kind soul. I have nothing but fond memories of him. I'm sorry I had not seen him in many years, however through my Wpg connection of friends heard he was always doing well. Married his soul mate and had his own children and grandchildren! His passing was very emotional for me. My heart goes out to his family .. I can't imagine how much they already miss him! Until our paths cross again ... Marla Banff Ab - Posted by: Marla Madden (Friend ) on: Aug 04, 2014

Thinking of you...so sorry for your loss Joanne - Posted by: Huguette Fortier (cousin) on: Aug 02, 2014

What a guy! What a loss for us all. He was strong like a bull, but gentle as a lamb. He was ALWAYS offering to help other people, and was a lead voice in the chorus of laughter in whatever scene he was in. I'm still in shock. He was a Rushmore on the prairies, standing tall and strong above us all. And his visage will loom as long and as large for everyone who knew him. R.I.P. to a Mighty Warrior. - Posted by: Brian Hassett (friend) on: Aug 02, 2014
