In memory of Frank, if you can attend please wear OVERALLS, as he was well know for wearing them everywhere. If you don't have any, jeans will do.... Cathy

The Didsbury Lions club was blessed to have Frank as a member. He made himself available for every project that we took on and volunteered to be treasurer when that position became vacant. He is being truly missed. Our condolences to his loved ones. Bruce & Carol Smith
