I am very sad to learn of Frank’s passing away, and regret I’m only hearing now… Frank was a significant and important part of my life.
From my teenage years and his impact upon our family life in the early-mid 1970s… My first ever motorcycle ride was on his bike - I mildly burnt the inside my calf on the muffler getting off which scared me off of motorbikes for quite a few years! Attending with my Mom his ordination at Infant of Prague. And his calm, compassionate presence during family events & activities on N Long St.
Later, my late husband, Daniel, and I met with Frank to prepare for the blessing of our marriage. Frank officiated the ceremony at SS Peter & Paul in Williamsville, 30 September 1995. It was my great joy that he was able to perform the blessing (also attend the reception) and once again have him join the family in a celebration that, I believe, brought us all great joy.
I always think of him, and will remember him, with deep affection and peace in my heart. RIP old friend, who lived a life of kindness, generosity and compassion towards others; always.
