In loving memory ~

Frank grew up in Terrace spending time working on his parent's house on Agar Avenue and later in 1978 building his home on North Eby.

In 1984 Frank married Beatrice Thodt and had two sons Aiken and Julian. During this time Frank would go on to wear many hats, whether it was running his own fishing guide business for tourists on the Skeena River, plumber or Camp manager in Kispiox. Franks true passion was spending time fishing on the riverbank with his sons and brothers. He loved being outdoors and close to nature whether it was hunting, fishing or camping.

In 1999 Frank and his family relocated from Terrace to Switzerland and started his own business importing and selling cold smoked wild salmon.

From then on he would move back and forth between Terrace, BC and Switzerland until he settled in Switzerland in 2019.

In 2022 he upgraded his status to loving "Grandpa" which he took so seriously he tried to teach his two year old granddaughter to be independent and how to tie her shoes. We all know how that went.

He is survived by: former wife Beatrice, his sons Aiken (Victoria) & Julian, brothers Edward & Peter (Marilyn), sisters Erika Waywitka & Rose Niznanski (John), nephews Jason (Jen), Justin, Tyler (Wanda), Mathew and granddaughter Olivia.

He will be dearly missed by his family and all who knew him.
