After a courageous battle and many lives touched, he left this world on Tuesday, October 20, 2015, at his home, at the age of 87 years. He leaves behind his loving wife Mary Theresa (nee Switalski-Schwan), his beloved children Anthony (Kathie), Richard (Simone), Tena (Terry), Patrick, and Eric (Carys). His greatest pride and joy was the exciting futures he saw in his eight grandchildren Samantha, Tara, Mathew, Thomas, Joseph, James, Caitlin and Emily and wished to give them the world.
At Frank’s request, cremation has taken place and there will not be a service.

“That Man is a Success
who has lived well,
laughed often and loved much
who has gained the respect
of intelligent women and men
and the love of children;
who never lacks appreciation
of the earth’s beauty
or fails to express it;
who follows his dreams
and pursues excellence in each task;
and brings out the best in others,
and gives only the best of himself”

Dear Mary and Family
It has been quite some time since our paths have crossed. Many good memories of our friendship in Thunder Bay. So sorry to hear of Frank’s death. Take comfort in knowing each of you enriched each other’s life. You are such a kind and gentle person Mary. I’m sure it was a comfort to Frank to have you at his side.
Love

Great memories of Uncle Frank – from childhood family events, spending time in the Maplewood Street home, to working in the Twin Gate building and going home with Uncle Frank and Auntie Mary for lunch, to seeing Uncle Frank at the Columbia Grill at morning coffee break time (long time ago!). Big personality – big smile – that’s how I will remember him. With love and shared sympathy, Debbie (Kivi) Matthews
Terry and Marisa
Mary and family,
The loss of a loved one is one of the hardest moments we have to endure, it is never easy and it’s the most painfull experience. But you surround yourself with the memories Frank and you lived together and you celebrate his life through your life and in time you will even be able to smile again, knowing he is always with you.
Our prayers are with you and your family.
