So sorry to hear of the passing of Frank Pike. I had the honour of meeting with him a few years ago regarding a story for The Telegram about his brother who served in the Second World War and who died in England. I remember Frank as a kind man with a gentle smile, who took time not only to share his thoughts on the story I was doing, but to show me the beautiful models he built as a hobby. Condolences to his family and friends. Glen Whiffen

This wonderful man was very special to me. I cherished my time with him and respected and appreciated his kind gentle spirit and wisdom. His love of family was always evident. He had a sharp mind, a wicked sense of humour and loved to spin a yarn. He was always interested in your day and what was happening in the world. I’ll miss our visits. Sleep well my friend!
To the Pike Family…
Condolences on the passing of Father Frank as we referred to him. Many fond memories from our Calgary Street Days.
Aunt Rhoda, Debbie, Vickie and families. Deb and I are thinking of you at this time. Uncle Frank had a good run, and we both have fond memories of him. Our only regret is that we could not get home to NL these past couple of years to see him one more time. I remember the basement in your home on Darling St. was full of candies and cookies for his business. Also, his knuckle grinding hand shakes. Quiet spoken, but there was always a bit of mischief in his eyes and a smile on his face. We will you miss you Uncle Frank.
My deepest sympathy to you all. Frank was a lovely, caring, gentleman and so full of fun. Cherish your memories.
