Just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of Frank’s passing.  I have such great memories of working with Frank, 12 years in total and a lot of laughs along the way.  He was like a surrogate father at times to me and spoke often of his family, particularly Claire.  He loved to talk about your great big family holidays – in fact I may still have a souvenir Cigar brought back from Cuba!  Frank had an amazing presence, and was highly regarded through the organisation we worked in together.  Frank was extremely loyal, going above and beyond to protect his work teams through the years.  Although Frank worked incredibly hard and was very dedicated to the job, we all knew he had his priorities in the right place, with his family.  I hope this brings you some peace at this sad time.  Love from Anne & Family …

To Clare and family I offer my sincere condolences.   Frank was a big part of my life over the last 15 yrs & helped me in so many ways.  I am a better person for having him in my life, he believed in me and helped me along my own path with wise words and sometimes a kick up the backside…. invariably he was right to do so, but it didnt feel like that at the time!!! Frank reconnected me with a love of Fishing & I am pleased that I was able to share in his passion for this sport & the outdoors during his final months. The photo is from late 2022 – he was in fine form. I am saddened by his passing, amazed at his resilience & celebrate a life well lived Frank always put family first, everything he did was for them & thats how it should be. A family man, a kind man, a friend, a mentor, a fisherman and a force of nature thats how I will remember Frank   thank you Frank for everything,   Paul C …

Dear Frank.  My picture was taken in Hong Kong the last time I joined you there in 2013. It was always an experience going away with you on a business trip, and seeing the impact that you had on your staff. You were a leader who led both by your ideas and your charisma. I will never forget working with you, it could be challenging but enjoyable. As a person I found you big hearted and generous. We will miss you. John    …

Frank, I’m proud to be part of your team.  You’ve guided me and fellow teammates a lot.  I will never forget your warm hospitality everytime we visited London, played a few rounds of golf and endless round of beers and your flavorite whisky.  We enjoyed the Japanese restaurant around Canary Wharf, our laughters there and everything you did for us as a boss and close friend. You truly a great fighter.  You fought for right things not only for yourself but other.  You stayed strong over past few years for such a tough journey.  Please have some rest.  My condelence.  You are living in our hearts. …

Dad Firstly, I want to say how much I love you and how much I’m going to miss you.   The day we found out the news my heart sank but your stubborn steallyness to get through this and be there for your kids and Grandchildren was immediately apparent, you never let anyone feel sorry for you or get you down.  You went through a lot and and I know having Mum by your side and having your back at all times drove you to get where you did. You showed us all the strength and determination to battle through and never give up right to the end. Everyone can’t believe what you accomplished during this time! Growing up I will always have engrained weekend fishing trips especially the time I lost that Pike. The way you could turn your hand at anything until you mastered it, your numerous hobbies even the more stranger ones but I know what they meant to you. Your work ethic, the respect people had for you, your advice to strive and be the best we can be, your selflessness and generosity, your cheeky humour and getting to stay up late on a Friday …

Dear Frank, Thank you for showing so much love towards my kids, for wrapping them up in grandpa cuddles, and making them laugh. 24 years you have been in my life and always been a supportive father in law especially towards my career. I will never forget how you looked online for Olivia’s bunny replacement after you knew she lost it in Dulwich park. It was the kindest gesture and how you shared your passion with Enzo on the outdoors & survival techniques. The strength and courage shown through your cancer journey will never leave my memory. Rest in peace Love Amandine xxx …
