O'NEILL, Francis 'Frank' Thomas - (July 1, 1934 - December 25, 2020)

In loving memory, we mourn the passing of Frank (Francis) Thomas O’Neill in his 87th year. 

Beloved husband of Betty Eleanor Marie O’Neill (nee Hubbert) of 64 years.  Loving father of Eleanor Meredith, Kevin (Dawn), Scott (Angel),  and Marion French (Greg). 

He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren Angela (Jordan), Eleanor (John), Katie (David), Gordon, Julie (Tyson), James, Kyle, Kristen (Conner), Matthew and Lucas. Great-grandfather of nine great grandchildren.

He was predeceased by parents Thomas and Marion O’Neill of Virginia ON, eldest brother of Hugh (Susan), both predeceased, Evelyn Wilkinson (Jim predeceased), Myrtle McNeil (Don predeceased), Charles (Helen), and Clare (predeceased), and survived by Linda McCartney-Rueckwald.  

Frank was born in Sutton, raised in Virginia ON, he then moved to Oshawa where he began what would become a 40-year career with the City of Oshawa Works Department. 

By moving to the outskirts of Brooklin ON in 1973, he built his farm, thus living his passion, just as his father, and raised his family. Frank was a simple and kind man, who loved his wife and family and quietly instilled the values of humility, sincerity, generosity and hard work.

Our family is extremely grateful to the staff of Lakeridge Health Oshawa for their tireless care, professionalism and expertise.

As an expression of sympathy, donations in memory of Frank O’Neill may be made directly to St. Leo’s Church in Brooklin, Lakeridge Health Oshawa or WindReach Farm.

Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
