CRANE, Frank Walter

 

Frank Walter Crane, age 89, of Mississauga, Ontario, originally of St. John’s, Newfoundland, sadly passed away at Trillium Health Center on October 18, 2024. He died peacefully in his sleep after battling an infection in his lungs, which led to severe pneumonia. He was preceded in death by his father, Walter, his mother, May, his brother, Ronald, and his sister, Jean. He is survived by his sisters, Edy, Mool, and Bet, as well as his spouse, Florence, and his two sons, Frank and Ron, and his daughter-in-law, Sonia.

There will be no funeral services, as Mr. Crane wished to be cremated without a service. You may send your well wishes through his Facebook account, or post them below his obituary here.

Personally speaking, my father was a great, caring man, who I’ve always looked up to. He had a very sharp mind and a great sense of humor, when he was healthy. And even when he was ill, his sense of humor stayed with him. He was a genuinely warm, likeable man, who put the needs of others even above his own. He will be sadly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. There will always be a huge hole in my heart, which he once occupied, for the rest of my life. I love you, Dad. Goodbye until we meet again.

    So sorry to hear. Frank was a great man whose family was awesome. I grew up with Ron and Frank(jr) our parents were friends. Boy, did Ron and I get into some trouble. With Frank, sure, he’d give us heck for the stupid things we done, but would also let it slide off his back, like, no big deal, kids will be kids. Flo, very much the same and just an all round woman with the patience of a saint. (She needed them with Ron and I)

    Our heartfelt condolences to Flo, Frank (jr) and Ron in this difficult time.

    Eddie.
