To Diane, Louise, Mathew, Michael, David & Families.

It is with great sadness that we hear of Frank's passing. We remember the days as if it was yesterday that he worked with us. His dry sense of humor, the go to man in the workshop.
It was a pleasure & priviledge to have known Frank and to have worked along side him.
Our thoughts are with you all.
Sorry we will not be able to attend the funeral service. We will watch the Livestream.

Our thoughts are with you all.
Kindest regards & condolences
