Frank A. BURUMA

I am very saddened to hear of Frank's passing. I knew and befriended Frank when he was the bank manager in Rankin Inlet in the 1980s and where he earned the nickname: "Frank from the Bank", a name that stuck for all of us who knew him. I kept in touch with Frank after he moved back to Alberta and even visited with him a few times but like a lot of other folks living in this frenetic and atomized world, I lost touch. It was only a few days ago that he came to mind and I decided that I was...

Dear Aileen & Tiana I´m so sorry to read of Frank´s passing. I knew Frank before you were married. He did enjoy life and a good party. We talked a couple times years ago. I know he was devoted to you and your daughter. This is so sad. He was too young. My sincere condolences Sue Sharp (originally from Red Deer but now I live in Connecticut, USA)

Frank, we at The Fox enjoyed your Tuesday visits over a couple of Coronas. Our conversations were usually brief but never without smiles. You definitely were one of the cool ones that I looked forward to coming around. Rest in peace good sir. Thank you for being you.

A great guy with an amazing smile. Always had a bad joke at the ready and loved hearing them in return. Whenever a charity function or fundraiser was around, he was the first to reach for his wallet. I´ll tip a corona in your honour Frank. You will be missed

I was aware Frank had Lung Cancer for sometime but it came as a shock when I contacted him though email. He was a good friend and we shared many good times together with a group of guys. He had a very dry sense of humor but always stories to tell and a very gentle person. We shall hold him forever in our hearts. Deepest sympathies to family and friends.

So sorry to hear this. Very sad. Sushi with Frank will be missed Tracey

Frank was a great listener. Even though we often disagreed he was never without a reason and we could respect each other's reasons. I miss those chats already. Rest in peace Frank...or however you want to rest!

I met Frank caring his father Sye.He always had such a big smile and very bright shirts. He loved his father,and his father loved him.Like father like son.My condolences to the family and friends.
