FRANK ANDREW DOLSKI

March 31, 1942 - December 24, 2025

My beloved husband Frank passed away peacefully on December 24, 2025, at Seven Oaks Hospital. He fought valiantly against lung cancer.

For most of his adult life, Frank owned Direct Starter Drive Company. In his spare time, he enjoyed flying his Cessna 150 and sometimes would slip away from the shop to go flying. He said it was a great way to relieve stress.

Frank loved meeting people and would always strike up a conversation. Within a few minutes he and his new friend would be talking as if they had known each other for years. It was this love of talking to people that got him interested in becoming a Ham Radio Operator. He talked to people all over the world and loved it very much.

Besides his loving wife, Barbara, Frank is survived by his ex-wife Mary and his five children: Darrell, Christine, Leslie, Frank Jr. and Mark.

I would like to thank The Ambulance Team, Nurses at St Boniface and Seven Oaks Hospital, Dr. Melanie McCannell, and Dr. Andrew Maksymiuk. Thank you for your care and compassion.

As Frank requested, there will be no service.
