FRANK GREEN
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frank Green, devoted husband of 64 years to Jane, and loving father to children, David (Cynthia ), and Kimberly (Jonathan).
Frank was an adventurer, leaving his home and family in England at a young age to join the British Royal Navy, where he had many opportunities to travel the world, eventually settling in Canada. His first job in Canada was with Bell, and later with Canadian Marconi as a radio operator. For a time, he worked on the DEW line in a very isolated area near Baffin Island, building part of the National defence system. Afterwards, Frank enjoyed a long career as an Engineering Technician with Manitoba Hydro, where he made lifelong friends and colleagues. As an amateur HAM radio operator (VE4FA), Frank enjoyed communicating with others across the globe for many years. An avid sportsman, Frank enjoyed cycling, swimming, racquet sports and walking: he could be seen nearly daily walking around King's Park in Fort Richmond. Frank was a devoted and caring husband and father, and will be truly missed.
Special thanks to friends who kept in touch during his brief illness and especially to Susanne Newman whose help and support was invaluable to our family.
A private service was held and in lieu of flowers, friends and family wishing to honour Frank, may donate to CancerCare Manitoba.

Frank and I were neighbors in the same condo building for many years. We had many long conversations when we were in the swimming pool. He will be greatly missed by many people in the condo building. - Posted by: Garry Teffaine (Neighbor) on: Jul 06, 2023

I am so very shocked to read of Frank's death. I have called him every few months to inquire after Jane, but I had no idea that he was not well. He was a wonderful man and was so kind and caring for Jane. Now I am hoping I can learn about Jane. Our families had so many good times together when the kids were young. Heartfelt sympathy to all. - Posted by: Carol Perry (Friend) on: Jun 26, 2023

Having lived in the same condo building for 38 years I saw and spoke to Frank frequently. Frank was always interested in the running of the building as was I. We had many constructive conversations over the years. He always remembered my name and his last parting words would be to say hello to your husband for me. A quiet gentleman and I will miss him.

I met Frank when we lived in the same complex in Fort Richmond and discovered I had worked with his son David many years before at Safeway. I always enjoyed our little chats in the pool for a daily swim. Frank was a gentle, kind man and I offer my condolences to his family. - Posted by: Gail Hall (Friend ) on: Jun 17, 2023
