-Colleen Kalbe-Currie & Family
Leila and I both considered Frank a good friend. Anytime I ran into him at the marina, he was always welcoming and anxious to share some story about his life on the Bay. Last time I saw him, he invited me to his house to see his shiny red muscle car. While the rest of my group toiled at loading the boat, Frank and I drove off in his golf cart to see his pride and joy.
I’ll miss his spirit. In my experience, a great guy with bad knees, but always positive and welcoming.
-Tim and Leila Gillespie
This is devastating news. Frank was a constant presence at King Bay ever since I first came there over 40 years ago. We were about the same age so I saw him grow up. He was so good to us. Our family will miss him, and our condolences go out to all that mourn his passing. He was a good man. Larry Forstner

Our condolences and love to the King family. Frank played a huge part in King Bay Marina, way back to the early days when he was working with his dad getting the marina and its boat maintenance services up and running. We really appreciated all the support and assistance we got from Frank over the years. Frank: we will miss your willingness to help, your easy ways and your good humour. We will miss you.
-Philip Matthews and family
Renee, Brandon & Sierra:
Sue and I were shocked and saddened to learn about Frank’s passing. First of all, hugs and love from both of us to all of you. Frank was a loving father. I remember fondly chatting with Frank about Brandon’s hockey, a shared passion of two hockey dads. All of you have always been kind to us and our family. One of my last chats with Frank last summer was as he stopped in the 60’s car (I forget the model) with a wide smile. At times, life was not the kindest to Frank but he always persevered. We will miss him. Today, we are thinking of you and pray that over time the emptiness in your hearts today will fill with loving memories of Frank.
-Doug & Sue Grundy
My name is Rob King, I am no relation to Frank, although Frank often told me that “I wished that I was”, lol. I was looking forward to spending time with Renee, Brandon and Sierra today to celebrate Frank’s life. Unfortunately Mother Nature has prevented that. I’ve been a friend of Franks for more than 25 years, I always had a smile on my face on my way up to King’s Bay. Frank’s hospitality towards me was second to none, his charisma and personality were larger than life. No matter what was going on, Frank would always ask about my family, especially my kids. Before I could ask about his, he would be going on about Sierra and Brandon with sincere pride. That was something I always appreciated and admired about Frank. I called him last summer and asked if he’d have time to run me out to a work appointment on the bay one morning, should only take an hour: Of course he made time and out we went one beautiful morning. Well six hours and a dozen beers later we pulled back into the marina. Once the work was done, Frank toured me around the bay, sometimes wide open and sometimes drifting with the motor off so he could tell me a story and point out his favourite spots and rock formations. I will always cherish that day, and above all…my friendship with Frank King.

My heart is so broken. Frankie was a special person and friend to me. From the moment we met and shared classes in Highschool – he always treated me so sweet. I felt an instant connection with him and I loved him like a brother. We reconnected a few years ago and I’m so very thankful we had those chats and got that visit in. Frank – you will forever continue to hold that special place in my heart always and forever. 💔

Dear Renée, Brandon, Sierre and all loved ones,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Frank’s sudden passing and sad to have been in China visiting my aging in-laws and unable to attend his visitation. Please accept my deepest condolences.
I’ve known Frank since I was 4 years old in 1971 and growing up, was always impressed by his free, fun-loving spirit. Since King Bay played such a formative role in my life, his parents Frank Sr. and Norma played very big and very happy roles in my childhood and I always saw both of them in Frank.
While it is devastating to lose loved ones from this realm, I have been amazed and delighted to learn, they are not gone, but only transformed. I very much hope the whole family might see him again over the coming days in some other form, as I have experienced with other loved ones. It is a real blessing when they visit as a bird or something else and eases the heavy heart with a bit of peace, some wonder and the hope of eventually reuniting somewhere else. I am hoping you all keep your hearts open for this and benefit from it.
As for this realm, I am wishing you all are able to grieve deeply and then to recover quickly so you can return to loving and enjoying the people and things here during our remaining days together.
Truly yours,
Don
PS Great photo of Frank!

Please accept my deepest condolences. Frank was a kind soul who always made us feel at ease. Three generations of our family knew him and were very fond of him. He will be missed!
