Not sure what to say?

Vale Frank Ipsen. We were only able to meet with Frank for the first time over a few days in March this year when he attended our grandson, Scott's marriage to his granddaughter, Erin, in Sydney. In that short time, we were able to recognise Frank as a man of high integrity and family values. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to welcome him as a friend and family member. We send our prayers of comfort to Curt, Jonna and their wider family

I have had the privilege of knowing Frank since I was 16 years old. He is my sisters father in law. My boys and I spent a lot of time with him through the years and always felt a sense of love from him. Even though he was not our "blood Papa". We considered him our Papa also. He was a man of not many words but he did not have to say anything. His soul said it all. Thank you Papa for being so kind to my boys and I through the years and making us feel so welcome and loved in your home....

We had the privilege of meeting Frank when he travelled to Sydney for Erin and Scott's wedding earlier this year. In the 2 weeks we got to know Frank, it was clear that he was one of nature's gentleman and much loved by his entire family. Our love and thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

We know you as papa and are blessed to have met you! You have a wonderful family and we will keep them in our prayers. I am happy that my daughter Dana got to know you..You have a special place in her heart. You will be missed. Love, Millie and Steve

Papa, you were greatly loved and will be greatly missed!!! You are on to the next adventure and one day we will meet up on the other side. I love you!

We will all miss our friend Frank. It was a great privilege to know him. Sending our love and care from Lewiston.
