FRANCIES, Paul Francies

December 8, 1947 - March 8, 2023 

 

Born in Middlesex, England, Paul moved to Canada in 1990 and worked for many years with Rogers.

His true love, however, was the stage, and he was a regular at Herongate Barn Theatre. 

 

Paul leaves behind his beloved daughter Nikki, her partner Gary; stepsons Tomas (Amanda) and Alexander (Karen), and his three step-grandchildren, Bronwyn, Garrett and Piper.

 

He will also be missed by his partner, Christine, as well as by many friends.  Paul brought brightness to others in every way, whether through a smile at his outlandish, flashy fashion, a sense of joy experiencing his zest for life, a laugh induced by his infectious chuckle, or being enthralled by his stage presence. 

 

A Celebration of Life was held at Herongate Barn Theatre on Tuesday, March 14, 2023.

 

In lieu of flowers or cards, we ask those so inclined to please make a donation to Oak Ridges Hospice in memory of Paul.

 

He spent the last days of his life there with care and dignity.

 

“The curtain calls - we will forever remember your time in our lives."
