Our families go way back to All Saints and St. Eugenes. Helen and our mother (Eileen Purdie) were the best of friends and I rememeber spending many afternoons in your pool. When I graduated from high school and university, your parents gave me a dozen roses. And I recall trying to convince your father that I did in fact hit a 300 yard drive. I don't think he beleived me! A fine gentelman with a beautiful smile. I am sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you at this time.

My deepest sympathies to John, Ann Marie and families. Uncle Stan was such a wonderful, warm and caring man. Many wonderful memories spent with the Franczak’s, whether it was a Saturday night after church, an afternoon swim or a week in Balm Bay at the cottage. He will be dearly missed.

Ann Marie and John - I was deeply saddened to hear of your father's passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.

Your father was kind and generous, and I will always cherish the memories of spending time at your pool. The warmth and hospitality your parents shared made those summer days, filled with laughter and joy, even more special. Your father and mother created a welcoming environment for everyone, and their love and generosity will always be remembered.

I hope you find comfort in the wonderful memories of your father and the incredible life he built with your mom.

With deepest sympathy,
Mary
