June 10, 1932 - May 27, 2025
We are saddened to announce the passing of Francis (Fran) NEILL. He is survived by his beloved wife, Barbara, as well as his children and step-children.
Fran was born in Spruce Lake, Saskatchewan, lived in Vancouver, Victoria and Nanaimo during his life. Fran is predeceased by his parents (Thomas and Kathleen), his sister Audrey Flint and his former wife Joyce. Fran was especially devoted to his family: son David (Michele) and grandchildren, Danean and Jamie. His daughter, Patricia (John) were loved dearly. He also cherished Barbara's children, Maureen O'Shaughnessy, Kathy(Jerry) and grandchildren, Rachel, Dan and Sarah, and Michael (Debbie) and their children, William and Megan.
All enjoyed Fran's wicked sense of humour as well as treasuring his kind and generous nature. Besides his devotion to family, some of Fran's favourite things were chocolate, coffee, ice cream, candy, and tennis.
May he rest in peace after suffering a lengthy illness with dementia. He was a good man.
