Frank became the best and most important friend I have ever had. His kind words were motivating and his guidance was inspirational to my writing. We understood each other, our conversations were long and deep. Frank was special, and he showed me that it’s not the length of life that matters so much as the depth of life. I know he’s not happy, I know he’d rather be here, but everyone’s love will certainly keep him alive forever. My condolences to the entire family.

I came across Frank’s obituary by chance a few days ago. 
The first thing I did was go looking for an old picture of three young boys. 

I met Frank through a mutual friend ,Brant Eisler, when I was ten and Frank would have been a couple of years older. The photo was taken at Brant’s Birthday party and I can count about 11 or 12 candles on his cake. It’s the same kitchen table in Lynn Valley that his sisters Lee and  Lori were talking about. We all spent many hours together through out our teenage years and Vancouver was an exciting city to grow up in. Lots of memories. I got married and moved away but over the following years Brant kept me up to date on Frank’s life, hunting trips and adventures. And occasionally I ran into him, usually at weddings or parties and most recently at Brant’s Celebration of Life.

Frank was like an older brother to me during the 60’s and I learned a lot from him.
He was always a sharp dresser. He knew how to shop for quality. Whether it was clothes, watches, sporting gear, restaurants or even the best place to get your hair cut. He was a good balance to the long haired counter culture of the late 60’s. He’s probably responsible for number of Tweed jackets, leather dress shoes and button down dress shirts that I still have in my closet. I know that I remembered him occasionally over the years while making a decision about quality vs. quantity. 

Our condolences go out to you, Joanne and the entire Giampa family.
It’s nice to know that Frank was surrounded by loving family and friends in his final days. 
It’s no surprise to me, as he was always an exceptional person.

I am very sorry to hear of Franks passing.  Although I have only known him for 18 months he has made a significant impression on all of us who have known him. His grace and courage under trying circumstances is a lesson for each of us.  My best wishes to his wife, children, grandchildren, plus all of his other close family and friends.  I know his presence will be deeply missed.

Frank was a long -time and devoted friend to our brother Brant. Their lives were interwoven together after meeting each other at 13 years old and working in the Giampa family business. 
They shared their love of the natural world and spent much time outdoors together. 
We will always remember Frank sitting at our kitchen table in Lynn Valley talking away. He was always kind and a great conversationalist. 
As their lives changed with growing families Frank and Brant remained close friends. We knew Frank as a loving man towards all his family and friends. 

Our blessings and love to Frank’s family and friends for their loss. 
Lee and Lori Eisler

dearest Frank ❤️

You were a very amazing man to work with,  your stories , photos and  your kindness and  big heart were shared with many of us that worked with you at Coquitlam school board for many years.  

To the guy that would always take the time to chat with us girls in the lunch room.

Such a sad loss to Joanne and your family .

RIP dear Frank 
Lots of love Joyce


“A good man gone, never to be forgotten!
Such wonderful memories I hold in my heart!
Cranky, Franky, I love it!…..a man true to himself, an encourager …what you see is what you get, no pretence with Frank.
Lord, bless his family and see them through the tough times. Amen.

I only really got to know Frank in the last few years of his life when we both went down the prostate cancer path. We  agreed it was not the best of ways to make a new friend but it was at least a real positive. I just wish we had longer to get to know each other.

Frank was a  special person who I felt very privileged to know. He was thoughtful, kind and dedicated to Joanne and his family. This was so well illustrated by the number of friends and family that were constantly at the house. He always said to me that he couldn't understand it, but I certainly could. He cared for people and it showed.

There will be a lot of people who will miss you Frank

Rest in Peace
Love
Lawrence and Bev

My condolences go out to you Joanne and the entire Giampa family. My favourite memory is of you and Frank coming to visit me. James was just 4 months old. Somewhere I have a photo of Frank holding him. I will try to find it and send it to you. My prayers are with you all right now,

I am saddened  to hear about Frank's passing and want to extend my condolences to Frank's family.

Frank and I worked at the Coquitlam School District for a number of years and worked on many projects together.    I always remember him as a very warm, reliable and thoughtful person who was always willing to help out in any way he could.  Frank was very supportive in whatever he did.  He also had  a keen sense of humour which was always appreciated.  His stories about hiking in the backcountry were tremendously entertaining and humourous and remain with me today.

May he rest in peace.



Frank—whadda special guy! 
I will remember him as a caring friend & hardworking work associate with a refreshing dry wit. 
He was an interesting outdoorsman with a respect for nature. 
Most importantly, Frank was a proud husband, father & grandfather—his ultimate legacy.
My condolences to Joanne & the Giampa family.  May Frank finally rest in peace.

To The Giampa Family

I was saddened to hear of Frank's passing a few days ago.
My heart goes out to his family and in particular to his wife Joanne.

Frank was unique among most. A person of great integrity and honesty.

As a cherished friend, mentor and confidant, he will be well remembered as will our conversations about life, his love for the outdoors, archery and safari on the African Continent.

I count myself as one of the fortunate soles who have had the privilege to know Frank Giampa. He will be well remembered, always.

May he rest in peace.

With deepest condolences.

Dear Giampa Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your father and husband. It is never easy to lose someone so dear to our hearts, and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. 

I knew Frank for many years during his time at the Coquitlam School District. He was a friend and colleague I could always rely on and confide in without the slightest fear of judgement. I will always remember his passion for nature and his contemplative spirit. He had a profound impact on me and those around him, and I have no doubt that his legacy will live on through the memories we all share.

Frank will be deeply missed by many, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all those who were fortunate enough to know him.

With deepest sympathy,
Mark Dale.
