We are very sad about this. Frank felt more like a family member than just a neighbour. He was a mentor when it came to anything to do with fixing things or taking care of the garden. He was someone we knew was always there looking out for us and keeping an eye on everything. He called our kids Busy Bee, Butterfly and Kangaroo Man. It was always reassuring to see him in the garage smoking his pipe and always very nice to talk with him. This is not a happy thing. We are quite sad. We only learned about this about a week ago when the house went up for sale. Couldn't write anything right away. Deepest condolences.

Dear Tracy and Rick we are sorry to hear of your dad's passing. You often spoke about both your mom and dad and how wonderful they were. Reading all of the condolences it is easy to see how wonderful your dad was and how caring and helpful too, not just to his family but neighbours, friends and through his church. Know that he is with your mom now and they will always be watching over all of you. Jimmy and Linda Georgiu

Frank is dearly missed - some things of note: Frank was observant, he probably knew more about our little street than anyone else as he watched people come and go from the neighborhood. Frank was kind and generous with his time- always willing to help others out, in their homes, in their gardens even with their bicycles. Frank kept a beautiful home- always top notch. Frank was a friend- he always had time for a chat. Frank made people happy- he never left a conversation without a smile and a ‘tip’ of his pipe. Rest In Peace Frank !

I met Frank several times. He was doing the co-coordinating at Cdn Martyrs Church and I hung the 2 big front door for them. He was a nice guy and I always remembered him after that. He was helpful to me in doing that job he got the hardware sandblasted and powder coated ready to re-install. Very nice and decent and capable man sorry for your loss to all the people in his life. Sorry to read this news.

I am so very glad I was able to spend time with Frank before his passing. Frank often asked why I married "the bobblehead" and I appreciated watching jeopardy with Jim, Pauline, and Colman, all of us chatting and laughing together. Sweet memories

Our deepest condolences on the loss of Frank. We remember him with great fondness at Canadian Martyrs Church - along with the lovely Elma. Frank was such a wise, respectful and kind man - with a wonderful sense of humor. He was a real asset to the Parish and community. Thinking of you all with love and prayers. - Virginia Pretto and the Caravaggio Family xo

Frank was the first friend I made when moving to the neighbourhood 5 years ago. He was so generous with his wisdom and assistance with anything around our house. I enjoyed sitting in the garage chatting with him. I am heartbroken I will not see my friend anymore. He was such a happy part of our daily lives waving hello. We were better for having known him. My condolences to all the O’Meara family on the loss of both Elma and Frank so closely together. God Bless

I visited Frank and Elma many times during my trips to Canada to visit Pauline and Jim. He was always very welcoming and we had great chats. They also visited me in Arizona. He was a good man who worked very hard and could fix anything. He will be missed.
RIP Frank.

Dear Tracy, Donal, Jim & Pat, so many memories from meeting your parents for the first time when we went to buy the house on Sussex from them. I was pregnant with Paul at the time & he will be 46 in January, to countless after church coffees at their home on Mapes and all the help
& advice your Dad gave Richard during home renos etc.
My thoughts & prayers are with all of you,
Jean Grzelak

So heart broken to learn of Franks passing. We had the pleasure of meeting Frank when we lived on Mapes Avenue. He was so kind and generous...one very cold evening our furnace broke down and he didn't hesitate to come and fix it and when we bought a new furnace he even installed it...never wanting anything in return but come and have a drink with him. I was always in his driveway having a cold brown pop with him on hot summer nights, and he would smoke his pipe and tell me about Ireland which I loved. Elma would just sit quietly and smile unless she was in the house cooking. May you rest in peace Frank and I will always cherish our memories. Even after we both moved from street and 7 years later when we lost our beloved son Joey he came to the visitation which truly warmed my heart. RIP Frank and give our love to Elma when you meet her once again. ❤ Our condolences to his family.
