Loving husband of Susan (Chitty) Lesser for 41 years. Proud father of three beautiful children; Gregory (Samantha), Kathleen (Keiran), and David. Cherished grandfather of Grace, Sophia, and Graham.

Frank was a talented and skilled watchmaker by trade who truly enjoyed his profession. He took great pride in building his business from the ground up, and continued to work until his retirement. Frank beat to his own drum. He was an avid stamp collector and science fiction buff and he always shared the love of his hobbies with anyone who was interested.
Keeping with Frank’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Donations to the Kidney Foundation, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada or the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
Live long and prosper
