Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 1, 2018.

NOLAN Francis (Frank) Michael William 9-12-1949 - 29-10-2018 Passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family. Beloved husband of Patrece (Ayres) for 45 years and loving father to Paul, Louise, Kathryn and Patrick. Grandfather to Harrison, Bella, Will, Noah, Eleanor and Mia and father-in-law to Renae, Luke, Dave and Holly. Much loved son to Desmond and Mary (both dec) and brother to Bernard, Margaret, Annette and Peter. Forever in our hearts. My darling Frank, my one true love and my best friend for over 45 years. You were a leader in everything you did in life. You gave me four wonderful children. You closed those beautiful blue eyes at home and were in peace. My heart is broken. "I will love you to the 12th of never." Your loving wife Patrece As a father, a grandfather, a father-in-law, a mentor and especially a mate, you were an inspiration and a truly great man. Thank you for all that you have done for us and know that we will never forget your love. Paul, Renae, Bella and Will. My Dad, my hero. I will miss you so much. I will never forget how you inspired me to laugh, be adventurous and to love with a full heart. Harrison, Noah and Mia absolutely adored their "pa muscles" while Luke will always treasure the many reds shared. Your guiding hand with forever influence our family. Louise, Luke, Harrison, Noah and Mia xxx My dearest dad, you were the kindest, fairest and most generous man we have ever known and I am so honoured to be your daughter. You taught me how to live life with honesty and integrity - always with great music in the background. Dave and I vow to always ensure Eleanor knows how special her Pa was and we will continue to pass on to her all the love, strength and courage you always showed us. You will always be my hero Dad and we will miss you every day. Kathryn, Dave and Eleanor. The love and support you shown over your life is the biggest reason behind me being the person I am today. I'll forever treasure the countless football and cricket matches at the 'G and will hold the two recent finals as my most precious memories of our time together. Go Dees. Pat and Holly. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Canteen. Funeral details to be in a later edition of The Courier.
