To Geoff, Patrick and Jonathan,

I have just now, by chance, learned of your dad`s passing away. I too, worked with your dad at Parks Canada in the late '70s/early '80s. I keep fond memories of your dad --- proud, caring, loving, great sense of humor! He loved you deeply and also spoke fondly of his sisters.

God bless you.

To Geoff and all the Dervin Family,
There are few things in life like the loss of a loved one. May your memories of your dad and grandpa stay with you, comforting you and guiding you through the days and years ahead. Our condolences to you and your family.

My sincere condolences to Frank's sisters, his sons and their families as you mourn his passing. I am sure you will all miss him greatly. Be assured of my thoughts and prayers for all of you at this difficult time.
My Dad, Harold was very fond of all the Dervin family and since his passing, we have lost contact but at these times family is important.
May Frank's soul rest in peace!
