I will remember Frank as a warm, fun loving, kind soul. He will be missed. Remember the many great times you had together and the wonderful cruises and resort trips.
My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and the family. Rest in peace Frank.
Frank was my brother Jim’s best friend from childhood and I met him when I was 8. He will be missed very much.
Frank’s fellow MTO retirees fondly remember him and will miss him at our regular lunches. Sending sincere condolences to Mary and family. RIP.
I am so sad to hear about the departure of my good old friend Frank Pianca. We worked together at the Ministry of Transportation for many years. He was a very warm and friendly person. I believe that he would be where the Lord Jesus Christ prepared for those who believed in him (John 14:1-3). Sending my heartfelt condolences to his loving wife Mary and his family members
Our Deepest Condolences
May The Good Lord Wrap His Arms around The Whole Family for Comfort and The Holy Spirit be Their Strength
I only met Frank once at my good friend Thomas’s wedding but he meant a lot to Thomas and his mother Jane. And to Lisa and to his wife Mary. I hope he is now at peace in the embrace of the Lord Heavenly God and Our Saviour Christ Jesus. I hope and pray God will bring them peace too in time and alleviate the pain of their loss. In the name of Christ Jesus I pray this. Condolences to everyone who misses him.
