I first met Frank & Janet at Blair’s in 1973, they all loved cards & would play til the wee hours of the morning at the kitchen table.
I have fond memories of horse back riding at Frank’s in the 70’s.
Always appreciated the special stories, that special cow tag in his pocket & history connected to it. Friendly, honest,helpful and smiling will be my thoughts of him. His children have inherited these traits, we’re so lucky to know the family.

Condolence from Brenda Morgan (Rimmer) on February 6th, 2015 2:03 AM

To Joanne, Brian, and Bruce, I was so saddened to read of your father’s passing. I always enjoyed running into Frank, and each time I did, I always walked away in a better mood after seeing him.. He always made me laugh, and he sure liked to joke and kid around. I am sure your entire family is going to miss having his presence around. He spent many many years at the farm, and his love of his family and animals is evident in the pictures you shared with us. My thoughts are with you, especially during the next few days, when all of this hits home with you all. Losing a parent is extremely hard, no matter what their age is… I feel your pain,, hugs to you all..

Condolence from John, Arlene, Scott & Ben Berendsen on February 6th, 2015 7:12 AM

Thinking of your family as you mourn the loss of someone you loved so much….memories are such a treasure that carry us forward. We will always have fond memories of Frank popping in with his truck just to say a “Hello…” him showing us all his antique collectibles and farming stories. Fond memories that make us smile. He was a true gentleman…

Condolence from Danny and Wendy Shoebottom on February 6th, 2015 8:30 AM

To the Hicks family, I have good memories of growing up with Frank and Janet as good family friends in the Centralia community. Horse back riding on the farm (old Cole and i were well matched), the card parties for our parents and were we kids got along so well, snowmobiling etc. I also remember keeping the farm equipment rolling at my dads garage. I got to fix all the flat tires that farmer Frank had. My prayers are with you all at this time.

Condolence from Ray and Judy Mills on February 12th, 2015 1:31 PM

Joanne, Bruce, Brian and families:
Please accept our deepest sympathies. So sorry we were away when Frank passed away. I have many fond memories of us getting together and on a weekly basis it seemed when we were growning up. I remember attending church together, swimming at the “Hepburn pool” and at Pinery Park, playing games and cards while our parents danced the night away, visiting with the Shoebottoms, sometimes the Squires and each of our families for weiner roasts, campfires, evening card games, lunch after a concert at the church and so on. I remember your dad leading a group of riders out when he had the horse stables, and Joanne and I being one of the riders. I had a massive scar on the front of my ankle area after that. Never did learn how to ride properly! I remember lots of good fun, great times and wonderful visits back and forth. The last few years have not been easy for any of you and you have been in our thoughts and prayers often. God bless.

Condolence from Steve and Judy Pezim on February 16th, 2015 1:23 PM

Janet, Bruce, Brian, Joanne and families, we are so sorry for your loss. Steve and I always enjoyed our get-togethers with Frank and Janet when they visited John and Gwen Andrew in Edmonton. The four of us would poke around local antique shops looking for ‘treasures’. Frank always had great stories to share and was a wealth of information on the subject of collectibles. Such a lovely man! We’ll miss him. Jutta and Steve Pezim
