Francesco (Frank) Figuer, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 4th 2020 at his home, surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his beloved and cherished wife, Gina of over 63 years, and his adoring daughters and son-in-laws, Marci, Irena (Joe), Silvana (Harry), Anna (Joe) and Susy. He was a loving nonno to his grandchildren Christine (Vince), Mario, Gian Luca, Maddie and Mia, and a dear great nonno to Sammy and Ciara.
He was predeceased by, his beloved son, Johnny, and his dearest parents, Fortunato and Maria Rosina; his sisters, Rosaria, Rosina, Carmela (Tony), Assunta (and survived by his brother-in law, Antonio) and his brothers, Giovanni (Adelina), and Antonio (Antonietta), sister in law, Ida and brother in law, Frank. He will be sorely missed by his brother in laws, Gerry and Paul (Lily). He leaves behind many loved nieces, nephews, and family.
It’s exceedingly difficult to do justice in truly honoring the memory of Frank who lived to the age of over 92 years, is no small feat. Frank was a wonderful and gregarious man who loved people and loved life, and above all else, he loved and cherished his family, and doted on his only son and 5 daughters throughout his life. Frank was never more happier than when surrounded by all of his children and grandchildren, laughing and joking around. Everyone who met Frank was immediately fond of him, and sincerely touched by his charm and charisma. His daughters are grateful to have had so many wonderful memories of their caring and loving father, and wish to recognize, and pay tribute to, a life well-lived, and that in many ways epitomizes the arduous journey of so many Italian fathers that immigrated from Calabria Italy to Canada in search of a better life for their respective families.
Frank’s legacy will be the eternal and perpetual love of his family, each of whom will never forget the giant of a man he always was, both in their lives and in their hearts! May his dear soul rest in peace in heaven, and may God bless his memory forever!
Due to current provincial restrictions on social gatherings as a result of Covid-19, the funeral service will be private.
