The Friday before his passing he went to McDonalds for his usual Friday coffee with a group of friends. He loved being around people and enjoyed all the family gatherings and he usually was the highlight at any social gathering. He enjoyed his two granddaughters' weddings this year and he even cut in on the first waltz with his granddaughter. His grandchildren were always a very important part of his life. He attended many soccer and hockey games. Dad loved to keep himself busy all the time, was an avid gardener and loved to putter around the yard. He was always working on various jobs and projects. Memorial Service will be held on Friday, February 1 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Stephen's Anglican Church, 220 Helmsdale Ave. Private family interment to follow.

The Wedlakes were our back-lane neighbours when they lived on Linden Avenue and we lived on Greene Avenue (Hildebrands). I remember Mr. Wedlake to be such a kind caring man who always gave a wave and a smile no matter what. RIP Mr. Wedlake. - Posted by: Connie Gratton (nee Hildebrand) (Neighbour) on: Feb 01, 2021

My condolences to the family. Frank's wife Marguerite worked with my mother at the Henderson Regional Library. He attended my mother's 100th birthday and also her passing service at Elmwood. This told me of his caring for family and friends. - Posted by: Bruce Sutherland () on: Jan 31, 2013
