Frank was born in August. 15, 1929, in Toronto, Ontario, to Robert Oscar William Jackson of Surrey, England, and Annie Jackson (nee Mousley) of Birmingham, England. Franklin's brother Lionel was born in 1931 and sadly died. Frank graduated from the University of Toronto in 1951 and went to work for Crown Life Insurance Company in Toronto. It is there he met the love of his life, Shirley Paterson. They were married on June 8, 1957. On June 4th, they welcomed twins Kathleen Ann and Kelly Louise, followed by Kristine Marie in 1963 and Karen Elizabeth in 1966. Frank retired in 1993 with Shirley. The two spent their retirement years surrounded by their family and friends in Pickering, ON. They enjoyed spending time with their grandchildren, Dylan, Jonathan, Kelsey, Nicole, Kolin, Erin, Robert, Jacob, Caitlyn, and Rebecca. They attended various sporting events, dance recitals, and gymnastic competitions to support their growing family. When not with their family and friends, they enjoyed trips to enjoy the Fall colors. A few of their favorite spots were Lynde Shores Conservation Area, Lake Ontario, Edwards Gardens, and the Toronto Zoo. Frank continued to play a significant role with his family after Shirley passed in 2012. He was grateful to have time to enjoy his three great-grandchildren, Weston, Carter, and Chloe. Frank enjoyed singing, playing chess, reading, and following his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs, Raptors, and Blue Jays.
