Obituary of Frank Grumbo

Francis George (Frank) Grumbo

November 23, 1961 – November 7, 2023

Frank unexpectedly, passed away on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at the age of 62.

Frank was predeceased by his parents, Lawrence Grumbo and Nora Mary Fleury; and

brothers, Victor, Raymond, Gillis, and Lawrence. He will be lovingly remembered by his ex-wife and best friend, Robin Grumbo and son, Derek Dowan; daughters, Jayce Paul (Myles Thiessen), Jenny Paul (Carl Sinclair); his three grandsons, Daniel, David, Liam Dowan; great-niece Kayla Swan, Devante and Zavien Mcaskie; aunt, Verna DeMontigny; sisters, Darlene Grandbois, Marie Grandbois and brothers, Andy Grumbo and Frank Head.

Frank was born in Russell, MB and was raised in Saskatchewan. Frank was a hard worker, loved to work with just about everything. He loved carpentry and loved making benches, decks, chests and shelves. He could fix anything, and had a love for cooking, playing cards, crib, and marbles.

He was an outgoing charismatic person, everyone who knew him loved him. He had a quiet thoughtful side to him as well, with a dark sense of humor. If he were here now, he would be saying, "Whatever, things happen."

Don’t remember me with sadness,

Don’t remember me with tears,

Remember all the laughter,

We’ve shared throughout the years.

Now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile,

Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.

When you are walking down the street

And you’ve got me on your mind, I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

So please don’t be unhappy just because I’m out of sight,

Remember that I’m with you each morning, noon and night.
 

Frank will be laid to rest at a private family service at the Brandon Cemetery.
