It is with much sadness we announce Frank’s passing on June 20, 2020 at the Halifax Infirmary with his family by his side.
Frank is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sandra, and sons Stephen (Maygen), Michael
(Bobbie). A Loving Poppi to D.J, Devanee, Evalynn and Jasper. Also surviving are his sisters, Anne Dubé (Gilles) Halifax and Maureen Hickey (Toronto). Also left to mourn are nephews Jason Dubé, Michael Tracey, Jason Humeniak Nieces Joanna Dunn, Joanna Berubé, Jennifer Tracey, Sonya Tancock and Tracey Bergen.
Frank was pre-deceased by parents Arthur and Margaret and Brother Paul, and nephew Aaron.
A special Thank you to Barry Allen, a good friend and neighbor, who faithfully delivered the Eucharist every Sunday. Also a special mention to Dan and Debbie Almon for their kindness of meals and Saturday drives with Gary. Thank you to Dr. Robin McFarlane and Nurse Marsha, Dr. Lara Best, Dr. Hernandez, Dr Saha and Dr. Steven Morris. Also thanks to Cindy Bell, Palliative Care and theVON.
Frank started his career as a social worker, then probation, but his greatest love was working at the Museum of Natural History. He was in his element because of his love of history. He seemed to have an endless amount of knowledge. His eldest grand-daughter, Devanee, would often say “If you don’t know, I’ll ask Poppi, he knows everything."
Frank was a very special man with a love of family and the neighborhood he grew up in. Children would knock on our door to see if he could come out to “play”.
Visitation at Cruikshank’s Funeral Home, Windsor Street, Halifax on Sunday July 5th from 2-4pm. Funeral service for Frank will be held at St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi Parish (Formerly Theresa’s), North Street, Halifax. Due to the ongoing Provincial regulations and respecting social distancing, Frank's service will be by invitation only. Burial will take place at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Sackville, NS.
In Lieu of flowers, Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or a Charity of your choice.
He will be forever missed and loved.
