WES FRANKEMOLLE February 26, 1920 - February 14, 2015 With heavy hearts, 12 days short of his 95th birthday, we announce the passing of our dad. Dad was predeceased by his first wife Adolphina; second wife Margaret, and his siblings Louis, Jan, Carl and Catherine. He was a butcher in Holland, immigrated to Canada in 1954. When he arrived he became an orderly. After that Dad was known as The Handyman, some of what he did was lawn care and built children's furniture. He loved to garden, started his own plants in the greenhouse that he built. He loved to have family over, nothing made him happier. Dad was well known for teasing everyone and his singing. In the nursing home, aides would hear him sing and join in, even down the hall. Funeral Service will be at 11:00 a.m., prayers will be before the service at 10:30 a.m. at Church of the Annunciation, Woodlands on Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Rev. Father Michel Nault will officiate. Honorary pallbearers are all the grandchildren. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to a charity of one's choice. The family would like to thank all the staff at Red River Place Nursing Home in Selkirk for the wonderful care. Survived by six children and their families: Maria (Larry), Micheal; Amber (Phillip), Brandyn, Camry, Vienna; Leah (Jamie), Kaedyn; Ashley: Carl (Kathy), Chris (Gen) Kai, Aurora; Lisa (Mike); Cazden: Judy Anne (Keith), Jennifer (Rob): Norman (Thelma), Matthew, Jeremy: Margaret (Brian), Ben, Adam: Wes (Shayla), Teersten.

  • Living next door to Wes and his family for my entire childhood was such a wonderful experience. I will never forget Wes' booming singing voice, or the endless searching for the "little green men" in his garden. - Posted by: Laura Warren (Neighbor for years) on: Feb 17, 2015
