You both brought so much joy into our lives and were such a cherished part of our world. Carmine and I truly treasured your friendship and all the memories we shared together. You are in my thoughts and always in my heart. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Dear Winnie, Michele and Cassandra,
First of all, my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather.
I will cherish the lovely memories of Uncle Frans visiting Grandma in Eindhoven and the whole family getting together.
That was always very special❤️
I lit a candle for him in the church in Milan.
Much love and light, and he will remain in your hearts forever.
We wish you much strength for now and in the days ahead.

Hi Wynn,
I first met your dear Frank in 2012, and I had the pleasure and honor of working with him on the Board of Directors of our condominium corporation. I found Frank to be a truly caring person and devoted to helping our community. I will always remember and cherish the time we spent together and his contributions to our community.
Wynn and family, please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved Frank.
Wynn, our deepest condolences to you and your family. Frank was always a joy to talk to. He was the first to greet us when we moved next door. He will be missed by us all.
Dear Wynn, Michele, Cassandra, Rachel and Rayan,
Our deepest condolences on the great loss of your beloved husband, father, and grandfather.
Uncle Frans was a great family man. He visited the Netherlands regularly. He took the whole family out for dinner. Spend time with everyone. He invited all his cousins to come to Canada. I have many beautiful and special memories of my vacations in Canada. For me he was more than an uncle. He has a special place in my heart. I will remember him as a sincere, kind, charming, generous, hospitable, and cheerful person. ❤️
