to the Frayne family

We were saddened to read of Eugene’s passing. Thinking of you at this sad time. We spent many a Friday night at Skipper’s talking with your Mom and Dad when their health allowed.

Words, however kind, can’t mend your heartache: but those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind. May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends.

Pat Johnston and Bob Desjardins

Condolence from Carol and Daryl Keys on April 13th, 2018 2:14 PM

Marianne Frayne Hogan and I met in University. Since that time many years ago I have been enthralled with the stories of the Frayne family that have been told to me by an adoring daughter; my friend has a very deep love for her family that seemingly shines out of her. But her relationship with her Dad was always special; she adored him. To Betty and Marianne and Marianne’s brothers and sister and to all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren: How truly blessed you were to have had a true patriarch guiding you through this life. May he rest in peace.

Our sincere condolences to the whole Frayne family. We will remember your dad as we walk up West St. and past his home. Remembering him out on the driveway with the little dog…and him trying to keep the little fellow from barking at our dog (to no avail!). Always with a smile and a hello.
So sorry…
