  • Dear Helen, Colleen, Kenneth, Donald and families, our thoughts are with you all. Uncle Frank was such a kind and lovely man. We were very sad to hear of his passing. It was nice to get the opportunity to catch up with many of you at and around Dad's funeral. My kids and I also enjoyed catching up with Aunt Helen and Uncle Frank at their house when we were last in town in August last year. You were both so kind and interested to hear all about the kids and I and you both spoke so lovingly about your children, your grandchildren and each other. Love and condolences from Karina, Cliff and Helen Ledwos and families. - Posted by: Karina Ledwos (Niece ) on: Mar 19, 2014

  • I have known Frank all of my life. He was like another Uncle to our family. My son affectionately called him Uncle. You will be missed but never forgotten. - Posted by: Maria Turkitch (long time friend) on: Mar 19, 2014

  • I remember Frank from when he married Helen and I was just "a little kid" who was taken with his gorgeous smile and quiet demeanor. He and Helen often brought out Helen's Mom to visit my parents, Peter and Mary Starodub, at the farm. My mom and dad thought highly of him. He was treasured by his family and friends. - Posted by: PatricPATRICia and Gary Hamilton (acquaintance) on: Mar 19, 2014
