Francis will be fondly remembered by the many people he touched over his lifetime when they entered the world as an ambulance driver or when they left this world as a funeral director. He loved a good political campaign and rally and loved hanging around telling stories of campaigns gone by. His days at the gun club shooting trap were some of his happiest. He ran a business in transportation that took him away all hours of the day or night but he loved to be behind the wheel and transporting trawler crews to their homes. He lived to serve his customers and his friends. His sister-in-law Nell was a special friend and was dad’s connection to his best friend that had passed.
Special thank you to the First Responders who tried endlessly to help Francis. Thank you to the neighbours on his street for the patience shown and the many thoughts, prayers and visits. Special thank you to the home care workers that helped him over the years, their care and compassion is greatly appreciated.
