I am so sorry to hear of your dads passing. He was always so nice (and funny) to me and I have thought of him often.
I cannot be there with you but I do send prayers and hugs to each of you.
Deeply sorry for your loss. Bob was always a genuine and and
enjoyable friend. We will much miss him at our Molson get togethers. Heartfelt condolences to Jacquie and family.
“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us”
Thoughts are with Jackie and the Franks family. Tuckers smile could light up any room. When he walked through the door you knew it was going to be fun. Remembering that fondly today.
Our love to you all,
Don and Nancy Stewart

Much love to you all ❤️💐❤️
So many wonderful times and memories spent travelling together! Started with Jacquie and I meeting at Ryerson and then on to meeting Bob as the boyfriend. We travelled the Trent canal then later the Florida Keys and finally many trips to the Casa in Costa Rica. I will never forget those happy times.
Jacq and the entire Franks family I am so sorry for the void in your lives and hope to spend more happy times with all of you.
Tucker was one of my favourite people. Full of life and always fun to be around. I wish we had more time to spend together. My heartfelt condolences to Jacquie, the kids and grandkids. He was a great guy.
Dear Jacquie and entire Franks Family, we are at a loss for words hearing about Bob our very special friend!
Bob was such a kind and wonderful person, and we know that his memory will live on in everyone who knew him. Our get-togethers and facetimes were source of uplifting joy. Every time we would ask Bob how he was doing, he would say “PRETTY GOOD” He was our inspiration and hero. He will be dearly missed!!
We will all take comfort in the love and memories we all shared.
Jacquie, take care of yourself, and lean on your loved ones during this time. We will all be there to support you!!
Jacquie and Bob had a way of making you feel special when they visited Florida! The bond they had was wonderful to watch! They shucked oysters, cooked lamb “lollies” on the grill & shared stories! He will be missed, but hopefully Jacquie has many relatives and friends who will circle her with love! Rest in peace Bob!
My sincere condolences to you, Jacquie and your family. May the fond memories you have bring you comfort in your time of sorrow.
