In Celebration of
FRANK (FRANCIS) JOHN GEELEN
September 21, 1940 –
April 1, 2024
Frank Geelen passed away in Etobicoke in the early hours of April 1, 2024 at the age of 83.
Adored Father of Kathleen and Lisa (Brian); loving grandfather of Anna, Cole and Thomas. Frank will be missed by many neighbours and friends including his former wife Mildred (Millie). Frank was predeceased by his parents, Jacob and Elise, and his sisters, Christine, Theresa, Anna, and Nell.
Frank was born in Velden, Limburg, Netherlands, on September 21, 1940. The agricultural values of hard work, perseverance, and responsibility that were instilled early in him remained central to his career, character and relationships throughout his life.
Residing in Etobicoke and then Mississauga, Frank combined his rural background with computer systems as a Business Analyst for the largest farm supply and marketing co-op in Ontario. He enjoyed family trips to Florida, fishing at the cottage, gardening and fixing or building any project that he found a challenge. In his retirement he moved to Brights Grove, Ontario and inspired by his grandchildren, Frank become a lunch supervisor at St. Michael elementary school. He took great pride in the relationships he had with the children by telling jokes and being a friend.
Frank loved his family dearly; after months of diminishing health, he passed peacefully with both daughters at his side. We will cherish the love, laughter, and memories forever. As our dad would want, we will never resist telling a joke to make someone smile, because that is how he moved through the world, making others feel connected with a silly grin and raised eyebrow. Given his inability to resist telling a joke, no matter how dry or ironic, the fact that he passed on April Fool’s Day is not lost to us.
Family and friends are invited to Turner & Porter – Peel Chapel, 2180 Hurontario, Mississauga on Saturday, April 6, 2024 from 2:00 until time of Funeral Service in the Chapel at 3 p.m.
