Franc was the beloved husband of Vera, and loving father of Dan and Robert (Monika). He was a wonderful father-in-law to Linda, step-father to Rudy (Janine) and David (Lori), and friend to Laura. Franc was an incredible Dedek to Cassie K, Cassie M, Noah, Tristan, Joshua, Ashten, Nina, and Maya. Franc is predeceased by his first wife Marija, sister Mimika (Aloize), and nephew Lozje. Franc will be lovingly missed and remembered by his sisters-in-law Angela, Amelia, and Vika, nephews Roman (Nadia) and Andrew (Jacqueline), as well as many family and friends in Slovenia and Canada.
Franc was born in Bakovci Slovenia. He moved to Canada in 1967 to settle in Hamilton, where he established his business, Glanbrook Stairs, instilling a tremendous work ethic in his two sons, who run the business today. Franc was happiest surrounded by friends and family. He loved bringing people together to celebrate, seeing friends at Bled social club where he was a member, and simply spending time with all those he loved. Franc was a devoted member of St. Gregory the Great Church community. He was the most welcoming and generous person anyone could have been lucky enough to know.
Franc loved to travel and was always planning for his next adventure, whether it was hunting in Alaska, fishing in the far north, or relaxing on a holiday. Franc's incredible spirit brightened the lives of all who had the opportunity to know him and he will be terribly missed. The family will receive family and friends at the Markey-Dermody Funeral Home, 1774 King Street East (at Kenilworth), on Monday, October 14th from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm, with prayers at 8:00 pm. The funeral mass will be held at St. Gregory the Great Church, 125 Centennial Parkway, Hamilton, on Tuesday, October 15th at 10:00 am. Interment to follow at Our Lady of the Angels Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Good Shepherd Food Bank or St. Gregory the Great Parish in Hamilton would be appreciated.
