JULY 21, 1950 – DECEMBER 26, 2022

Passed away on Monday, December 26, 2022 at St. Mary's Hospital in Kitchener.

Survived by his wife Jo-Anne; children Devon (Stephen) Hogue, Andrew (Shannon) Edwards, and Merlin; siblings Allan (Cathy) Edwards, Patricia (Malcolm) Glassford, and Stephen (Lisa) Edwards. Beloved by many nieces, nephews and his four grandchildren who fondly referred to him as Grumpsie.

Predeceased by his parents Lorna and Franklin Edwards.

“Frinkie” was a proud, stubborn man with an infectious grin. His often inappropriate sense of humor raised eyebrows, but he wouldn’t have had it any other way. After spending 29 years employed by the Toronto Transit Commission, very little phased him and despite his gruff exterior he had a heart of gold. Frank loved his family fiercely and will be missed by all who knew him.

Special thanks to Waterloo Region paramedics, and staff at both Cambridge Memorial and St. Mary’s Hospitals.

Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at Coutts Funeral Home & Cremation Centre, 96 St Andrews St., Cambridge on Saturday, January 7 at 2:00 p.m.
