ENGELBRECHT, Frank - Passed away after a brief stay at Brampton Civic Hospital on October 16, 2021, at the age of 88.
Frank was predeceased and welcomed by his wife Valerie (2012) and his first grandson Lucas (2000).
He will be missed by his daughters Denise, Kirsten and Katrina, his sons-in-law Todd and Jamie and his grandchildren Teresa, Erin, Serena, Daniel, Taylor, Leah, Cameron, and Caleb.
As the youngest of 10 children, he will be cherished by his surviving siblings and will be remembered as the ‘fun uncle’ by his many nieces and nephews in both Denmark and England.
Frank came to Canada in the late 1950’s, working at various jobs before securing employment at Dofasco in Hamilton where he worked for 28 years. Frank loved his farm on the 2nd Concession in Lynden, Ontario, as well as the community around it. He was a proud member of the Danish Guard, and stayed connected to his Danish roots through Sunset Villa and the Danish Canadian Federation. He was an active member of the Lynden Masonic Lodge as well as the Rockton Agricultural Society which included serving as president of the Rockton World’s Fair in 2005.
Frank will be most remembered for his generous hospitality and willingness to help. Whether it was dropping in to check on a neighbour, sharing a meal or hosting a party, Frank enjoyed a good time surrounded by good people. He made an impression on all those that came into his company, and will be remembered fondly. Skøl!
Arrangements are entrusted with Andrews funeral home, Brampton. Cremation has occurred and Frank will be interned at Sunset Villa in Puslinch at a later date.
