I echo Brian Colgate's description of Father Micallef. He was a true Christian gentleman.

Father Frank was a wonderful shepherd to his flock with 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, at Work Point Barracks, Esquimalt (Victoria), BC, in the 1970s.
Requiescat in pace, Padre.

I have always remembered Padre Frank with great memories from the early 1970s as a wonderful shepherd of his flock, and for other reasons.

One of those others was that he always managed to recruit good looking, single, young women from local parishes to help maintain the RC Chapel at Work Point Barracks in Esquimalt, BC, and he would bring a few of them to each of the Business Men's Lunches at the Officers' Mess, making certain to introduce them to the single officers.

Requiescat in Pace, Father Frank. You will never be forgotten.
