Francis (Frank) Wayne Chambers
February 22, 1919 – November 21, 2014

Francis (Frank) Wayne Chambers passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 95 on November 21, 2014 at Extendicare in Haliburton Village. Dear father to Bob (Heather), Marie (Chris) and David (Ruth-Anne). Loving grandpa to Sean, Meghan (Paul), Laura, Clayton, Cody, Charlotte, Caroline and Daniel and delighted great-grandpa to little Evelyn.

Frank was born on the family farm south of Carnarvon to James and Sylvia (nee Sisson) Chambers and was dear brother to Lyla, Jean, Murray, Bill, Jamie and Margaret. He married Audrey Irvine and they raised Bob, Marie and David in their home on Twelve Mile Lake. Frank was a member of Zion United Church in Carnarvon and the Arcadia Masonic Lodge in Minden and was well respected by all who knew him. He will be missed and fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews and friends.

Although he worked at Motorola in Toronto for many years, and in his retirement enjoyed travelling, Frank treasured living in the Haliburton Highlands and the beauty and peace he experienced here, especially at his home on Chambers Road and his hunting camp on Clear Lake. His family is grateful for the wonderfully long, full life Frank enjoyed and the steadfast presence he was in their lives – never missing a family gathering, always eager to tackle a new project or adventure and inspiring us with his sharp mind, tenacity and fierce independence. Frank’s family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Bottum, the staff of William Place Retirement Home in Lindsay and the staff of Extendicare in Haliburton for their kindness and compassion in caring for Frank these past months and for their support throughout this time.

Friends are invited to visit the family at the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., 127 Bobcaygeon Rd., Minden on Thursday, November 27, 2014 from 11:00 am until the time of the Service to Celebrate Frank’s life in the chapel at 1:00 pm. Spring Interment at Twelve Mile Lake Cemetery. Frank’s family will hold a celebration of his life early next summer at Twelve Mile Lake Historical Church.

In lieu of flowers Frank may kindly be remembered through a donation to the Haliburton Highlands Health Services Foundation or Twelve Mile Lake Historical Church.
