Our deepest condolences to the Franz and extended family for the loss of Fr. Frank. We had the extreme pleasure and privilege of having Fr. Frank as a neighbour for a short period of time. During that time we got to know him on a personal level. We shared many laughs and heartwarming stories. His jovial laughter will forever be remembered. God has a very special place in Heaven for Fr. Frank. Sending prayers and blessings to his family. - Posted by: Pam and Lou Sanche (Friend) on: Dec 13, 2025

When I was a young kid, Frank & Ardene took me to the peace gardens in his cool Plymouth Fury! I was thrilled! I talked nonstop. After what seemed like forever talking gibberish, Frank looked in the rear view mirror and said “Can you be quiet!” The car went silent, all the while Frank & Ardene quietly giggled! My arms were crossed and I was ANGRY! “How dare he!” After a few miles, Frank couldn’t take it anymore, He looked at me and said “OK, you can talk!” I talked nonstop to the Gardens! Frankie was my hero, my idol and my best friend. The original GOAT. We chatted EVERYDAY 8-10 hours. My heart is devastated! Permanent grief and sadness. I loved Frankie, always will! I miss Frankie, always will! 🧖🎚️RIP🧖. Glen Franz, heartbroken brother!🫶🥺😭😩 - Posted by: Glen Franz (Brother) on: Dec 13, 2025
