Frank was a man of many trades and talents experiencing a variety of careers. As a young person he commercial fished with his family. He was the kind of person who was successful learning everything he tried and dove into each new experience with great passion. For many years Frank was a gifted carpenter and enjoyed building houses with his father and brother. He also worked for a local excavating company whose owner became one of his close friends. In his later years he enjoyed working in the logging industry driving truck along side his beloved brother. Frank was an avid fisherman who unfortunately never caught too many fish, but everyone knew for Frank it was just about being on the water and enjoying our beautiful surroundings. Frank enjoyed camping trips with friends and family and spending time working in his shop surrounded by his thousands of tools. Frank was a kind hearted man who found a place in his heart for every-one. He was the first to come running when help was needed and he tried his best to make everyone around him as happy as possible. He encouraged his family to pursue personal happiness, be true to themselves and enjoy the simple things in life. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends. Frank’s wishes were for donations to be made to The B.C. Cancer Agency, Campbell River Hospital or The Royal Jubilee Royal Pavilion 1.

To My Husband Frank
I miss you so much
You are my best friend
I will always remember
All the wonderful loving times we had
I always felt so loved and safe
I know that you are my Soul Mate
I didn’t want to say goodbye
But now you are in a better place
Where sickness and pain
Will no longer hurt you.
