Frank Canestrari

We were shocked and saddened to learn of Frank's death. Memories of enjoying family life together in Toronto remain in our thoughts and close to our hearts. Our deepest condolences to Tina, Michael and Nancy.

The news of Franks passing is truely shocking. I new him as a compassionate and understanding leader while at Datacard Canada. In 1990 while working for Datacard, I was in a major car accident in Vancouver. Frank flew out to Vancouver to see me in the hospital and told me not to worry, that my job would be safe while recuperating. It meant quite a lot to have the leader of the company come out to see me. We need more leaders like Frank.
My condolances to the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Frank for a couple of years at DataCard Canada and during that time I quickly realized what an intelligent person he was. His dedication and motivation were unmatched. But beyond that I knew how much he loved his family. Several times I picked Frank up at his home and we drove to work together and it was evident how much he loved his wife and son. It was clear in the way he responded to them when he left for work and in the conversations we had along the way...

I met Frank in 1983 when I joined AFI, and had many terrific years working with him. Frank was an extremely smart person, driven and motivated to succeed. I learned many lessons from him and cherished the friendship that developed. Through email I have been able to keep in contact with him over the years and am extremely thankful for this. To Franks family, please accept my sincerest condolences at this very sad and shocking news. He will be missed very much indeed.

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Frank's passing. He was an amazing leader of Datacard Canada and we all thought very highly of him. Personally, he mentored me and always encouraged me to learn and grow. He will be greatly missed and our thoughts are with you, his family.
