Dear Susan,  I am terribly sorry to hear this sad news.  Frank and I worked in the
movie theatre business back in the 80s. 
He was a great colleague and friend. I too will miss him greatly, but have lots of happy memories.

Hi Susan, I am Frank's cousin. I never knew him well ; we met as kids a few times but never got to know one another that well. I am sorry to hear of his passing but based on the entries I've read about him here, he was a well respected man ... someone I am glad to have met.  

Take Care,
Darryl Jobes

I have so many great memories of my uncle Frank.  I used to love it when I was little and he would come and visit, take me out on his car and we would grab slurpees from the 7/11 and drive around town.  Nicole and Susan, I am so sorry for your loss.   He has left us far to soon.    
With Love his nephew 
Chris

Susan. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts. Let all the good memories help you through these difficult times.

I am Honoured to have known Frank in years gone by. It was a privalage to spend the coming of age years with him. So many wonderful memories, the Stanley theatre, my first speeding ticket in his 'Gremlin', the 'river', the 'booming grounds' , the 'lake', the 'Vedder', to many more to mention them all. 
He was a great friend and will be missed. 
My sincere sympathy to his family.

Oh Susan - I just heard the news and I'm so very sorry for your loss.  I am thinking of you at this terrible time and I hope it helps a little to know that old friends are sending thoughts your way.

Susan,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. May all the great memories bring you much comfort.
Hugs!

May you now RIP buddy.  Going to miss you dearly, we have had so many great times together. My deepest sympathy to Susan and family.

Frank had a way about him that drew you in. You knew that if he called you friend, he would stand with you and that he genuinely cared about you, your opinon & what went on in your daily life. He was generous, funny and never judged. In our circle of friends he was the glue, the wheel to get the weekend rolling, the bartender, the storyteller and often times the chef.  

This writer finds herself without words, so I will borrow some from an anonymous author....

ASK
Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
to bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
but how many were sorry when he passed away

In Frank's case I would say the mourners are too many to count.  To heal from this personal loss, I will choose to think of him somewhere in the energy around us, compiling a new song list to play for us when next we meet.

We met Frank through our neighbours, Carol and Henry...we saw him at BBQ's and parties. He was a wonderful man, warm, friendly, and a great sense of humour. He will be missed by everyone that he touched. Susan, we are so sorry for your loss...

I believe for Frank, the mourners are too many to count.  I choose to go forward thinking of him dwelling in the energy around us, busily compiling a collection of music to play for us when next we meet.

At times like this, I know words don't mean much when you are faced with a loss such as your Father, know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family at this time.  As time goes by, your loss will be replaced with fond memories for all of you, for the times you enjoyed with your Father.
All the very best to you and your Family,

Rich & Judy Gorman

I met Frank only two times in my life, but i will him never forget!
Our thoughts are with you

Sue, Nichole and family, words can never ease your loss. Though I didn't know Frank for a long time I found him a very warm and generous person, a good friend. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you you all.

I remember when I first met Frank, I was about 15 or 16 and I was riding on the 23 McDonald bus in Van. and this tall lanky character got on dressed in denim with long hair and he clumped to the back in leather boots . I recognized him from Point grey secondary but didn't know him at the time, but he said hello and knew my name. Frank was one of my best friends for about 40 years.I will always remember and miss him .

Susan, Rick & I are thinking of you and you know we are here when you need us
Love Rick & Holly

Cindy and Nicole
So sorry to hear of your loss. Sending you our prayers and all our love

Nicole and Cindy your both in my thoughts I'm so sorry for your lost.

Cindy and Nicole..I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers..sending you a big hug.

A beautiful tribute to my wonderful brother.Frank you taught me one of the biggest lessons in life and I am truly thankful. You were one of a kind and anyone that knows you knows how special you were. I will miss those long telephone calls we would have that ended with I love you! I only wish that I had the magic that could fix the problem that could have kept you with us for much longer. You were loved with the same intensity that you loved your family and friends.
Your life was lived well Frank and now I know why you were mom's favorite child.........because your were an exceptional human being. I love you forever and will miss you always my dear brother............Val
