Francis's obituary

It is with our deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of Francis "Frank" Vanfossen, known fondly by many as Frank. Francis was born on the 3rd of October, 1940, and passed away on the 6th of February, 2024.

Francis had an illustrious career, dedicating over 40 years of his life to Hope Industry since 1960. His commitment to his work paralleled his dedication to his family.

Francis was predeceased by his beloved wife, Mary Ann Vanfossen, a loss he bore with stoic grace. His parents, Frank Vanfossen and Katherine Antonetti, had also passed on before him.

He leaves behind a legacy carried on by his loving children: Frankie, Michael, Francis, and Stephanie. Their memories of him will forever live on. 

Francis was also a doting grandfather to nine grandchildren: Courtney, Shane, Corey, Annalee, Ryan, and Katie. 

Although Francis is no longer with us physically, his memory endures. His life, filled with hard work, compassion, and exemplifies a journey well-lived. We are all richer for having known him, and he will be greatly missed.
