In Celebration of

Frank Adare

August 7, 1929 -  October 2, 2019

After 90 long years of life, Frank Milton Adare passed away, October 2 , 2019. He is survived by his wife, Jean (née Nielsen), his daughters Debbie and Kathie, his son-in-laws David Dumaresq and Clark Lawlor, his grandsons Miles and Jack and several nieces and nephews. Frank was preceded in death by his mother, Irene, his father, Milton, and brothers, Bob and Jack.

Frank was born August 7, 1929. He loved Toronto, his lifetime home; he and Jean travelled extensively, feeding his love of learning. Frank touched many people throughout his career with the Toronto District School Board. His natural curiosity, artistry and good humor carried him through to his final moments. His favorite times were casual conversations under the shade of the apple tree in the backyard. He will be missed, but we know he is in a much better place.

As per Frank’s wishes, no formal services are planned. A 'Celebration of Life' will be held in November. The family wishes to thank the many dedicated medical and support staff of the University Health Network, the Dorothy Ley Hospice and Ontario Health Services. Please consider a donation in Frank's honour to the charity of your choice.

Tyler Lawlor (Brother-in-law to Kathy Adare.)

Entered October 4, 2019 from Aylmer Quebec

In our numerous Christmas family get-togethers, Frank always took the time to ask me questions about what I was doing and he always asked more questions, more than scraping the surface, he asked questions on the questions he just asked... simply and genuinely wanting to know. He always said "That is interesting." upon my replies. He will be missed.
