Frank is survived by his loving wife Karen sister Judy (Judith) and Brenda children Jennifer (Jamie) Chris (Kim) Katie, and Patricia and grandchildren Mikayla, Payton, Ethan, Shona, Paige, Helena, Madison, Hudson, and Cooper. Born in Kirkland Lake to Frank and Grace, the family moved around a fair bit before finally settling down in Toronto in 1957. Frank graduated from St. Michael's College School and immediately began his career with the Toronto-Dominion Bank. Shortly after he met the love of his life, Karen a.k.a Bonnie, and eventually settled his family in Oakville. Frank was an avid curler and thoroughly enjoyed watching sports and playing cards. He coached youth sports for his children for many years and was actively involved in many organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Halton, the United Way and the 60th Degree Society. One of Frank's biggest accomplishments was being a father (Dad) and grandfather (Papa). He had always wanted a big family and considered himself lucky to have four children. He was always there for them through their ups and downs and taught them to enjoy every moment life has to offer. No matter what obstacle they faced he taught them that it was all in their 'State of Mind' to get beyond. Frank passed away peacefully on Thursday morning. Just like he dealt with all experiences in life, Frank managed his illnesses with strength and grace and wanted to spend as much time with his loved ones as possible. On his final day Frank was surrounded by his wife, sister, children, and grandchildren who he adored more than anything else in this world. A Funeral Mass has already taken place. In lieu of flowers please make donat- ions to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital (Hamilton) Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health or Big Brothers Big Sisters of Halton.

Upon graduating from Nepean High School in 1948, Marilyn went on to earn her Registered Nurse Certificate from the Ottawa Civic Hospital in 1951.

It was there in 1955 that she met her husband-to-be, Marvin Olson from Saskatchewan, who was studying medicine at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, with some courses in Ottawa.

Marilyn continued nursing at the Oakville Hospital for a number of years until taking on the role of mother and homemaker on Ennisclare Drive. Marilyn's life was filled with music. She was an acc- omplished violinist with the Oakville Symphony Orchestra for some 20 years, having been a founding member. She was also a founding member of the popular Oakville Christian Women's Club. Marilyn was greatly involved in church activities including work with women's groups and youth groups.
