Tonny Frauenfelder

Tonny was born in The Hague, Netherlands surviving WWII in the ‘40’s and moved to Canada as a young adult. He attended the University of Manitoba and used his technical knowledge for various jobs until becoming Head of the Cardiology Department at St. Bonifas Hospital where he succeeded in modernizing the medical technology at the time. He worked at the hospital for 30 years until retiring to Vancouver Island where he spent his time repairing clocks, working on his hobby boats and raising his youngest children. He was known as a jokester, musician, tinkerer, lover of life, a wonderful husband, a supportive father, and was a genuinely benign man. He is greatly missed.
