Remembering Frank, a devoted brother, friend, and the life of every gathering. His laughter and kindness will forever echo in our hearts. A true friend who always lent a helping hand. 🌟❤️
Frank was always the one that you could depend upon if you were in need.
His spirit, laughter, and unwavering support for family will never be forgotten.
A master of pickles and jams, he brought joy as well as some amazing dishes to every occasion. 🍅✨
Known for his macaroni and tomatoes! No one could whip that up like Frank! He once told me the secret was in the butter! 😉
He died the day before our Mother Olive Dunbar. Even in his sickness he rallied around Mom and the family as Mom was slowly slipping away. Frank ended up in the Hospital 3 weeks before and we never dreamed his situation was as bad as it was. On Wednesday July 25, 2012, at the age of 56 years Frank succumbed to an aggressive cancer. He was the 3rd child of thirteen for the late James Stanton and Olive (nee Sullivan). They were very proud of Frank, as were his loving siblings; Albert (Therese), Brian (Tracey), Raymond (Jean), Bernard (Lynda), Cathy Watson (Leonard), Carl, Ronald (Lisa), Kevin, Nancy. Pre-deceased by sister Patricia Lascelle (Don), Andrew & Ruth. Frank was the "Fun Uncle" and his neices and nephews hold so many great memories. Like the pralines and cream trip to St. Catherines, the many eventful stories he told the kids while living with their Grampa and Grandma. He was adored by Christine, Derek, Dean, Eric, Tania, Matthew, Amy, Zackery, Raelyn, Michael, Maria, Chris, Christopher Halliday, Kenny, Tommy, Cally, Andrew, Logan and the late Rebecca. Frank had a spirited way about him with a contagious laugh. He loved a good time and often would be the life of the party. The later part of his life he took care of Mom at the Farm before she moved into Quail Creek.
Frank was a McGyver, he seemed to be able to do what ever he put his hand to.

Frank's 70th Birthday-some of us got together at the graveyard. Bert shared the 23 Psalm and Kevin his heart in planning this for Frank. We then went back to...
I was just sitting here at the kitchen table with my photo album playing on my screen saver...when I saw this picture of Grandpa PA Dunbar and Grandma Hilda and it occured to me that maybe it was Grandma that you(Jane Vockrodt) reminded Aunt Margaret off. I know when I saw her picture here a few minutes ago I was amazed how much she reminds me of you(Jane Vockrodt) and Janice and Aunt Jean, Patricia, My Dad, Ronnie Me and so on and so on.
I'm going to get my hair cut like the one Pa has in this picture.
I LOVE YOU
