It is with profound sadness that we need to announce Frank passed away unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, August 11, 2020. Franklin Lee ‘Frank’ of Belle Ewart, Ontario, formerly of Little Current, Manitoulin Island. He just celebrated his 76th birthday.

Proud Poppa of Beth, Tristin, Mason and Tanner of Little Current, Manitoulin Island, and Michael and Anthony Sarra of Mississauga, Ontario. Frank was honoured to have been the step-dad and step-poppa to Ann’s children and grandchildren. Frank was the second born of Hazen and Vicki Golder arriving July 21, 1944 in Woodstock, N.B. He was the loved brother of seven. Fondly remembered as the ‘short one’ by Hazen (Jane), Nanaimo, B.C., Dianna (Charles Hachey), Bathurst, NB, Colin, Diamondhead, Mississippi, Liz (Ron LeDrew), Perth, Ontario and Harley (Faye), Telkwa, B.C.

Frank Golder was an auto mechanic and bodyman by trade having owned and operated his own business on the Island and in Espanola, Ontario for many years. He loved to work alongside his son restoring and bringing life back to older models. He was respected in his trade by all who worked alongside him. Frank was an avid golfer and loved getting out on the course especially with his brothers Hazen and Colin and his son-in-law Vito and played often with Ann at their local course. Due to Frank’s wishes, there will be no funeral. A Celebration of Frank Golder’s Life will be held Saturday, August 22, 2020 in Meaford, Ontario.
