Passed away on 11 September 2026. Much-loved husband of Lyndsay Mary, and dearly loved Dad of Bronek, Teressa (Tessa) and Damien. A proud Polish New Zealander, a man of deep faith, devoted husband, loving father and friend to many. Frank lived life fully, loved his family deeply and never seemed to run out of stories to tell. Everyone who knew Frank has a Frank story, and we would love you to share yours with the family on the day. His love, laughter, faith and stories will remain with us always.

Forever loved. Forever remembered.
