Frank was born in a house on Dufferin St. in Toronto, Ontario on December 22nd, 1928 to Frank and May Camisso. He lived there with his brothers, Howard, James, Anthony and his sister Velma. He attended Alexander Muir Public School and later high school at Central Technical School.
Upon graduation he began his working career at Foundation Company Ltd. a major general contracting company. Interestingly that is where he first met Irene.
He lived most of his adult working life in Agincourt, Ontario where he raised his family and of course spent summers at their beloved Caesarea cottage. Later he and Irene moved to Thornhill, Ontario their having built a new home there.
He went on to build a retirement residence on Stephenson Point Rd. on Lake Scugog near Port Perry, Ontario where he and Irene became members of Port Perry Baptist Church than later Emmanuel Community Church along with other members of his family.
He served in a number of capacities at the church including as a Deacon but is most remembered for his commitment to the Promise Keepers Men’s Ministry.
Frank really enjoyed the fellowship that came from being a part of that early morning group where they learned more about their relationship and personal walk with Jesus Christ and finished with a hearty breakfast at the local restaurant. He was active until his health would not let him attend anymore.
Frank might best be defined as someone who believed in the value of family. Dad loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his wife Irene, his girls Susan, Alice and Barbara and their many offspring. He loved us and we knew it. We loved him and he knew it. God loved him from the very beginning. From his mother’s womb through those final hours. That is how God loves.
One of Frank’s favorite bible verses was Romans 8:28. He named his boat after it.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
A Service to Celebrate the life of Frank Camisso will be held in the Emmanuel Community Church, 1680 Reach Street in Port Perry on Sunday, January 30th at 2 p.m. Please contact the Wagg Funeral Home, Port Perry, to reserve a place at the service.
