We are all so deeply saddened for the loss of Frank. He will be deeply missed. Frank was a man that could walk in a room and with that smile lift anybody’s spirit . Vil and myself, Sheryl, had the privilege of meeting Alison and Frank and developing a beautiful friendship with both of them through Shoppers Drug Mart. Every week we were always greeted with the biggest smiles and hugs from the two of them or just Frank picking up milk or Alisons preorder products from Vil. every time they entered the store they we’re always sharing stories of their children and grandchildren or their trips visiting them as well as any renovations to help them out. Frank also offered his expertise in home repairs to Sheryl for renovation tips for her cottage. They always had a way of making you feel like family. Vil and I were blessed with working together on Christmas Eve, and what made it special was Frank walking in with that special smile, showing up on all those Christmas Eve’s, this year included, with again another charcuterie board, from the two of them. The thoughtfulness was overwhelming❤️. He will truly be missed in our hearts. All our love Sheryl and Vil

We are so saddened about the loss of your beloved Franco. He was an absolute treasure. He was always smiling, always had a kind word, made you comfortable and brought joy to all who knew him. We always enjoyed our visits with Frank and hearing about your family stories and just chatting away about anything and everything. We were never at a loss for words or chatter. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered forever by all of us. We are truly devastated to hear about his passing. Our sympathies to Alison and the entire family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. G. I worked with Franco for many years at San Lorenzo Ruiz and my husband also worked with him at Sir Richard W Scott. Over the years, I enjoyed many meaningful conversations with Franco ranging from a variety of topics- health and safety protocols, the labour movement and of course, the general state of education. Most of all, I will always treasure the look on his face as I observed his interactions with the children of SLR. When I made the difficult decision to leave SLR, Franco was so kind and understanding. His words were not only affirming but empowering. He understood completely. I will never forget that. My thoughts and prayers are with his beautiful family as you journey through the days ahead. Please take comfort in the memories and the support of family and friends.

Mr. G will be greatly missed at SLR. His cheery demeanour always lit up every child’s day. The constant reminder of his voice saying “Cheerio” will be profoundly missed. The gloomy halls in the early morning as I arrived with his black Timmies coffee will definitely be missed. All the “Mr. G” PA System calls will never be forgotten. Franco will always be in our hearts! We’ll miss you Mr.G!!!!! SAN Lorenzo will NEVER be the same!!! Lots of Love Mimi (SLR - teacher) and Tom Ambas ( St. Theresa - custodian)
