Loftus, Frank
July 18th, 2019
Peacefully on Thursday July 18, 2019, we lost our beloved husband, father, Papa, and friend. Frank and his wife Linn were happily married for 54 years. Frank was very proud of his sons Rain and Jay, and his little grandson Nicholas. Frank will be missed by Louise (Rain’s Fiancé), Cookie his faithful dog and dear friends. It is our sincere hope that Frank “Sparky” will be remembered for his many years of coaching and teaching. Predeceased by his parents, Clara and Dr. Louis Loftus, his brother Bill and sister Mary. Survived by his sister Carole Loft. Special thanks to the Palliative Care staff on the 9th and 10th floors at University Hospital. The family is very grateful for the care Frank received from nurse German Ortiz of Saint Elizabeth Health Care, and PSWs. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Frank’s Life will be held at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London on Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at 12:00 p.m., with visitation two hours prior. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation are asked to consider The Optimist Club of Oakridge Acres to help support youth sport in Frank’s memory or St. Joseph’s Hospice.

Book of Condolences
Rick YoungFrank was my high school Football Coach at GA Wheable Secondary School in the 1960s, and my fellow Football Coach at Wheable when I returned there as a teacher in the late 1970s. We teamed up again at Montcalm Secondary School where we took a Junior Boy’s Football team to the City Final. More importantly, Frank was my long-time friend and one-time mentor. Those who knew Frank appreciated his self-deprecating sense of humour and loyalty to his acquaintances. Coach, I will miss you. Thanks for being part of my life’s journey. RIP.
