I will never forget our wonderful camping years together. It was always a pleasure seeing Frank in more recent years when he visited with my Mom at our cottage. He had a great sense of humour and always had a smile on his face. I'm sure Frank and my Dad, Alex, are having a great chat. My thoughts are with his family in their time of loss.

I will miss Frank very much...he was always so kind to me and to my mother, and always made a point to keep in touch whether it was a Christmas card or email message. My heart goes out to the family whom I also miss very much. May peace be with you.

I can still feel that rear axle pounding against my butt!

I have so many good memories of your dad and all those camping trips we took. I will forever see him with a green Austin ,in shorts and black shoes with a rum and coke in his hand. Those were the days! I am so sorry for your loss. He lived life to the very fullest. I remember him visiting mom on a cold fall day on his motorcycle. He was shaking with cold from the long trip. Hugs to you all. His spirit will live on.

Our thoughts are with the family at this time of great loss. Frank is at peace. Here's to hoping he is reunited with all his lost friends and family. If so I'm very sure that Frank and my late Father Lloyd are tearing it up down some dirt road in custom built rally cars. Rest in peace. (Langwell Instruments)
