RIP Frank.
I remember our days at 5Svc Bn in Valcartier and running into you again when you were the Chief Clerk at CFLS in Ottawa. You were a very dedicated and hard working “Clerk” and you will be missed by many of us.
Very sorry to hear of Frank’s passing and am in awe of the bravery you showed in the end.
