Dear Jan and family,
Our hearts are broken today for you and your family. Frank was such a beautiful man inside and out. We always admired how he carried himself with such class and he had such a quiet confidence about himself. Always a gentlemen……intelligent….humble…and kind to all who knew him. He ❤️ you Jan….it was evident by the way he treated you and how he was around you. You two together have built a beautiful family and have always extended a helping hand to family, friends,neighbors and your community. Your life together has always been filled with great love and many adventures and lots of laughs along the way. But your story doesn’t end here Jan because Frank will always be with you and around you every day for the rest of your life until you meet again.
Love Glenna & Paul Ebbs

Janet, Barb, and Phil:
Just came across this very sad news. I hope that you are taking time out for yourselves to grieve and remember. Thinking of all the wonderful times you had together as a family. I remember Frank (Mr. Davis to me!) to be a important part of an amazing family. My mother and I were talking about a memory the other day that involved Frank. One of the major snowstorms in the seventies, Barb, Phil, myself,and my brother Mike were stuck at Queen’s Rangers School. My father was at work and my mother would not dare go out! Frank got on his snowmobile and took two trips back and forth from the school and got us all home safely! Wonderful memories to be carried with you forever. Thinking of you and your loss.
Thinking of you, and your loss.
