Francesco Commisso

With heavy hearts, we are said to announce that on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 Francesco (Frank) Commisso passed away peacefully at the McCausland Hospital in Terrace Bay, Ontario, in his 85th year. Frank was a longtime resident of Schreiber, Ontario; was born in Italy to the late Dominic Commisso and Rosa (Trichilo). Loving husband to Maria (Muia), father to Dominic (Andrea), Domiano, Cosimo (Laura), and Anna (Andrew). Proud grandfather to Bianca, Amanda, AJ, and Addisyn. Frank will be missed by his brothers Cosimo (Pina), Joseph (Antoinette), Nick (Rosetta), and James (Rosanna); as well as his sisters Sarafina (Vincenzo), and Mary (Cosimo). Lovingly remembered by many relatives and friends. Frank was a dedicated family man. He studied his master carpentry trade since the age of 13 in his homeland of Italy where he developed his strong work ethic. When not working, he enjoyed hunting, watching his beloved Leafs, and spending time in his carpentry shop. He was always available to offer a helping-hand to anyone in the community, and enjoyed time with family and friends. He retired from working at the Kimberly-Clark Pulp and Paper Mill in Terrace Bay, Ontario. Every Sunday he occupied the same pew at Holy Angels Roman Catholic Church in Schreiber, Ontario. The family expresses its' heartfelt appreciation to the doctors, nurses and staff at the McCausland Hospital who provided him with care.
