Obituary
Passed peacefully away during a spectacular sunrise at the Residence at Littledale on December 17th, Michael Francis Kennedy (Frank) of St. John’s (nee Harbour Grace). His family were by his side during his short stay in palliative care, and his favorite songs were the perfect backdrop as we shared stories about this great man. How to sum up Frank’s life? Truly, to know him was to love him, and many did. Whether through his golf and squash friends, his professional colleagues and clients, his buddies at Tims, and of course his partners in crime in Harbour Grace, Frank touched many lives. Predeceased by his beloved son Christopher, parents Florence and Frank Kennedy, parents in-law George and Gwen Parmiter. Leaving to mourn his loving and patient wife of 57 years Glenys, daughter Jill (Matt Hickman), son Michael (Jennifer Keefe), darling grandsons Benjamin and Timothy Kennedy, brothers Steve (Yvonne), Terry (Cathy), Gerard (Mary), sisters Marie (Steve), Patsy, Elizabeth (George), and Marguerite (Eric), special in-laws Jim and Alice Parmiter, scores of nieces, nephews and their children and of course his beloved grand-doggies Pesha and Leila. Special thanks to the wonderful and caring team at the Bliss Murphy Center, the Palliative Paramedicine team, and the staff at Littledale. Frank truly soaked the good out of every moment in life – he lived in the now, and never wanted to be anywhere but where he was at that moment. We can all learn a lot from that attitude and will cherish his memory.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Bliss Murphy Centre or BeaglePaws Rescue.
Visitation has been postponed to a date to be determined.
