It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frank on Monday, 29 June 2026, aged 98 years. Much-loved husband to Betty (deceased 2021), father to Kevin, Neil (deceased 2023), Julie and Eddy, and Blair and Sonia. Cherished grandfather of 12, treasured Great-Grandad Frank to 10, with two more great-grandchildren on the way. We would also like to acknowledge the special care and support from Renata and Belinda who made it possible for Frank to live independently in his own home. Frank loved a good joke and had a wonderful ability to make people laugh. His mind remained sharp right until the end, although sadly his body aged before his spirit did. Frank had many wise suggestions. His favourite card game - 500. His advice to his partner: "Always call the joker." A memorial service to celebrate Frank's life will be held on Saturday, 8 August 2026 - time and venue to be advised. Family and friends are warmly invited to attend and share memories of a life well lived.
