FRANK RALPH GRABOWESKI With his family holding his hands, on November 18, 2016 at 6:37 p.m., Frank gave his 85 year old physically well-used body and mind up for a new ever-lasting one! We asked Dad - what was your greatest achievement -the many buildings you constructed, the businesses you and Mom created, your work at Bristol Aerospace, your coolest inventions, your community work, your work at town council ... he ponders briefly ... My greatest achievement is my 60 years with Marie and the life and family that we created. This is Dad - self-taught, rooted in family, focused always on producing something and contributing, while still taking time to enjoy life and share this joy with anyone that would come share it with him. Dad says thanks - to his colleagues and those who worked for and with him, his fishing buddies, his wodka buddies, his invention partners and all those extra hands in creating, and most especially to the whole family - wife, kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews, sister, in-laws and outlaws. Dad says I love you all. Dad received exceptional care during this journey and, in lieu of flowers, encourages you to support Carman Memorial Hospital Palliative Care or Boundary Trails CancerCare programs. Join us for prayers and singing Friday, November 25, 7:00 p.m., at the Carman Catholic church. Funeral Saturday, November 26, 10:30 a.m. at St. Hyacinthe Parish in La Salle with fellowship to follow at the Kingswood Golf club. Burial Carman cemetery at 3:30 p.m. Hard working hands peacefully at rest.. with love: Marie, Gary, Donna, Tom, Jennifer, Nikki, Deb, Paul, Bryce, Amanda and Evan. Doyle's Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements. www.doylesfuneralchapel.com
