Anyone who knew Frank remembers what a gentle soul he had, and the big smile under his cap.
It is with a heavy heart we have to say goodbye, and cherish the wonderful memories of your life with us.
Frank passed away at home, peacefully in his sleep from a sudden heart attack 63 yrs of age - Fri March 19th 2021.

All who knew the strength of Franks love, understand the heartbreak of our family in the absence of his presence.

He will forever be remembered and missed by many Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, Aunts, Uncles and Friends.

Frank loved to capture the precious moments in life, and editing movies from his video camera. He was always making people laugh, and feel good around him. You could always go talk to him without feeling judged, he just knew how to make everyone comfortable. Frank always demonstrated he was A hard worker, A strong provider and an unforgettable man.
He was a Toronto Maple Leafs fan and enjoyed being out in nature - especially feeding the squirrels.
Frank spent most of his free time with the family and having movie nights with popcorn and dark chocolate.
His first wheels were a 350 honda motorcyle, he was always playing sports, hockey, ball hockey, tennis, and notably very athletic and into running in his younger years.
Frank, Linda, Larry and family lived on the corner of Woodfield Road and Wapole Ave (directly across from the favorite corner store) and also attended Roden Public School.
Frank and Darlene met in grade school, she was 14, and he was 16. He used to jog by when Darlene and his sister Linda walked home together, usually popped out at the Monarch Park Tunnel. Frank proposed on Darlenes Mother's porch weeks after her 16th
birthday. When Darlene said yes, Frank hopped up on the railing to tight rope walk the bannister and howl at the moon. They were married June 18th, 1977, 3 years later he welcomed his first born baby girl Nov 5 1980, and just 2 years later a set of twin girls Nov 30th 1982.

John 14:23-27, 1-3
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

There is not a day that I won’t miss you dad, a day that I won’t think of you, and a day that I won’t pray for you. I love you daddy! May you rest peacefully in eternal life.

How do you honor someone who taught you, that your presence is always more important than what you present. The feeling you leave with people should make an impression, more than material things you can give them. During Dads life, his actions always spoke louder than words. My heart aches and my words fail me. To the Man I respect, The Father I know, and the super hero Dad I Love , you are the silver lining on a white cloud, your lighthouse still burns bright.
Matthew 11:28-30. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
