It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of Tom Franken. Amazing and loving husband of Susan Franken. Very proud and caring dad of Cassidy Franken, Robbie Franken and Danielle Dale, adored Bampa to Charlotte Franken.
Tom is survived by his mother Emma Franken, predeceased by his father John Franken. Survived by brothers and sisters Harry and Charlene Franken, Marg Miller and Denis Medd, Ed and Bonnie Franken, John Franken, Paul and Lorraine Franken, Mike Franken and Sara Wood, Dave and Lisa Franken, Mary Anne Franken-Millian, brother-in-law to Micheal Chisholm and Tabatha Darrell. Predeceased by his mother-in-law Patricia Chisholm. Survived by many Aunts, Uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Tom was a one-of-a-kind man. He had a great sense of humour and loved to laugh. A friend to all and would help anyone who needed it. Tom loved to sit on our front porch and have friends and family stop by for a visit and stay for a tea.
There is no funeral. A Celebration of Life will be held on March 5, 2022 at the Dungannon Agri Hall from 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm. Cremation has taken place.
There are no words to take away the sadness when you lose someone you love.

My condolences to Emma and all of Tom’s family. I just learned about his passing and remember Tom as a friendly and cheerful young man. He will be missed.

I have just heard of this sad news, of the passing of your husband and father Tom Franken.
He and Rob put in my cement sidewalk in Meneset last summer. He will always be fondly remembered by me. I was the “temporary proud owner” of a skid steer as it sat in my yard for a month. I love my sidewalk, and every time I walk on it, I think of the hard work that went into creating it.
May GOD give you and your family comfort during time of sorrow, and healing.

Sue,Rob,Cassidyand family. I didn’t know Tom , only as a neighbor for a short time. I sure appreciated Tom cleaning my driveway when I lived on Cayley St. I bought a freezer a couple years ago and Tom was in the store also buying a freezer, he offered to deliver to my house, he put it in place and took the old one away. I offered to pay him but he said no that is what neighbors do, help out. A man with a big heart.
My sympathy, Elaine

Tom was one of the best fun loving school mates at kingsbridge school! He was always up to something and provided many laughs throughout our school days. Always a guy that smiled and chatted every time we seen each other.
The world will shine a little bit dimmer now without Tom.
Thinking of Tim’s most cherished blessings, ….his wife children and granddaughter❤️
Ken & Sylvia McGee
To Emma and all your great family. We had only got to know Tom in the last couple of years but he was a fun person and passed away at too young of an age. I know he will be very much missed by your family and his friends This is the time to remember all the good times your large family has had together.
