Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• Dear Doreen and family, I am saddened to hear of Franks passing. I have such good memories of you and him in my years as manager at Elmhurst. He was always ready to provide me with his knowledgeable advice and great service on all our printing needs. It was a pleasure to know him and have both of you and your family grace our tables at Elmhurst. My deepest sympathy. Ron Franks - Posted by: Ronald Franks (friend) on: Jan 29, 2012

• I had the pleasure of working for Frank for 5 1/2 years - and continued to see him thru work until present day. I will never forget his smile and laughter and all around kindness. My sincere condolenses to his Family. - Posted by: Cindy Smith (Past Employee/Friend) on: Jan 26, 2012

• Uncle Frank, When we look back we remember so many funny and happy moments. You followed us in our constant moves across the country-and in our visits to you you forgave us for bringing a variety of naughty dogs and forgetting our wallets. Our visits were always fun-somewhat raucous, NEVER proper Canadian! We loved it when you treated us to those posh dinners together, with your savoir faire charming all those aound you. We are grateful for the cheery coffee wake-up calls in the mornings in Palm Desert. What a good time we had to crash your 80th birthday party-so many good memories: the bus trip around the city visiting childhood homes and neighborhoods and zany, evening family get-togethers. Mom remembers you in your zoot suit many, many years ago, but then you were always top of the list of best dressed! When we traveled by car, you had to (first thing in the morning) have your peanut butter fix. We will always remember you as our handsome, silver-fox Uncle Frank-this wonderful brother and uncle in our lives.

• My memories of Frank go back virtually to my earliest memories living on Rossmere Cresent. Fifty plus years. I always remember Frank as fun loving, friendly and great for joking around. Always a kind word and that larger than life smile. I really did grow up with your family in many ways as a neighbor and friend. All very fond memories for me. Sincerely, Blake Piper P.S. Sincere condolences from Grant and Cheryl - Posted by: Blake Piper (Neighbor and life long Family friend) on: Jan 24, 2012

• I met Frank almost 40 years ago through his sales where I worked. Frank always conducted himself in the true business fashion of honesty, integrity and he was always a true gentleman. Frank and Doreen attended my wedding in 2005 and it was an honor to have them there. Even after his retirement, he continued to send emails full of jokes and comments. He will truly be missed and I will think of him often. Doreen, I extend to you my deepest and sincerest sympathy to you and your family.

• Truly a character that would fit in with the television show "Laugh in". Unforgetable person, who leaves behind many fond memories. - Posted by: Lyle Jones (Family friend) on: Jan 23, 2012

• My name is Rex Mayall and I first had the pleasure of meeting Frank & Dorren when I traveled over to Toronto for my daughters wedding to Franks grandson Jesse Unruh in 2007. My first impression of Frank was his dry sense of humour and witty way with words. In 2010 on a return visit to Canada I was invited to stay with Frank and Dorren at their apartment in Winnipeg and in the short time I was there Frank took under his wing and showed me all around Winnipeg, pointing out to me with pride the places he used to work and where he was brought up. I will never forget the kindness and friendship that he and Dorren heap on me while I was staying with them. It was with great saddness that I learnt of his passing and my deepest sympathy goes to Dorren, Sandra & Richard, M - Posted by: Rex Mayall (Jesse Unruh & Elisha Mayall father & father in law in New Zealand.) on: Jan 22, 2012

• Dear Doreen..it's with regret on hearing of Frank's passing. We spoke with Kay from Florida last night and she was very emotional. We know she would like to be with the family at this time. Our sincere condolences to all the family. Wilfred and Gayle Jestadt Clearwater, Florida - Posted by: WILFRED AND GAYLE JESTADT (FRIENDS) on: Jan 21, 2012

• Please pass my deepest sympathy to the family. My name is Jim Livingston and I had the pleasure of working for Frank for many years. He sold the pre-press portion of his company to 3 of his employees, including myself and became our first customer. Thanks, in part to Frank, we ran a successful business for 23 years until my retirement in 1964. He was always one of my favourites and I guess what I remember most is his sense of honour and dignity and his dedication to Wallingford and to his employees. I will miss him, as will anyone who knew him. I have relocated to BC and regret not being able to attend Frank's funeral.
