Thank you Anne, for letting us know about Frank’s passing. He had an infectious good nature and wonderful sense of humour. It was a privilege to have worked with him at North Park. We enjoyed our time with you both at Mount Pleasant United events.

Dear Anne, Lee, Jim, Alex, Ethan, Ben, Karin, Jonathan, Steven, Denise and Ethan.

Our family is thinking of you and sending our deepest condolences. I feel so fortunate to have met Frank on special occasions with Lee Anne and Jim. I witnessed Frank's enthusiastic support of Alex and Ben and know he adored time spent with his three grandsons on family holidays and cruises. I hope the wonderful memories you have of Frank - a beloved husband, father and "Grampy" - will bring all of you comfort in the coming days. I will remember his warm, wide, infectious smile and will always be grateful I was able to spend time with Frank - he clearly loved his family beyond words and I know you will miss him, always.

With love,

Libby and Tim Barrie & Family

So sorry to hear about Frank's passing. I remember when Frank and my Dad (Arthur Johnson) worked together at North Park Collegiate. Who could forget the fun Science Department poker nights either? He will be greatly missed. Our thought are with all of you at this time. Here's to the lovely memories that we have of Frank.

My good friend "Franky" will be missed. He was my Grade 13 Biology teacher and our defensive football coach in high school in 1967/68. When we have a friend over this period of time we tend to think they will be around forever then mortality reminds us this isn't so. Ove the years I stayed in contact with my friend and the ever diligent Anne or "Annie" as I will forever call her. I consider it an unusual pleasure to have been taught by Frank and to have remained his friend. I consider him one of my closest friends, we only needed to smile at each other and a world of memories would flood through us both. Two of my buddies and I would make a stop at Christmas eve to Frank and Anne's where we would have snacks and beer and saw the growing evolution of their own family now grown adults who have given the gift of grandchildren to their parents.

I won't see Frank again but he's here, I will forever miss him and his gregarious laughter and good humour. We used to laugh that I was a strong C+ in biology and I'm sure I surprised him when I received my Ph.D. in the discipline a few decades ago.

Thanks Frank for the life lessons in the class and on the field and for being a wonderful human being and friend.

Miss you. Tom Watson, Port Coquitlam, BC.

Deeply saddened to hear of Franks passing . As a young up and coming teacher doing supply work while looking for my first placement (many years ago) I was lucky enough to come under Franks umbrella [at what was Tolgate ]. His personality and style empowered and encouraged many students and staff where ever he was . My deepest condolences to the Fairchild family for your loss -- my thoughts and prayers are with you all !

My deepest sympathies to Anne and Family. Frank was my favourite teacher at North Park and instilled in me a lifelong interest in science. He was a true friend to my father, Ray, on and off the football field. I will always remember Frank’s sense of humour and how he made learning about science fun.

Our thoughts are with your family on the passing of Frank. A leader to a very proud and strong family. Rest in peace Frank.

Murray ,Darren, Niki Kellam and family

I am very sorry to hear that Frank has passed. I wish I could have had one more visit.

He was my grade 9 and 10 Science teacher at NPC-----I have often said, if it wasn't for his help, kindness, and understanding, I would still be there!!!

As it turned out, he lived across the road from my in-laws and we had many chats over the road----

Sincerely---Mary Neal Bingleman

So sorry to hear of Frank’s passing, he was a lovely man and had a great way of making people feel comfortable around him, always greeted everyone with a warm smile that would light up the room. We have lots of fond memories of Frank and he will be sorely missed by many friends. Sending much love to his wife Anne and all the family.

Much sympathy to the Fairchild family. I remember many Sundays attending Mt. Pleasant United Church as a kid and being greeted by Frank at some point in the day. It is part of a distant childhood memory but I don’t recall ever seeing Mr. Fairchild without a smile and he was so kind and approachable for a big guy. I am sure he will be sorely missed. Such sad news. Much love to Mrs. Fairchild and the rest of the family. Xo

My Deepest Sympathy Anne and Family on the loss of your Husband , Father snd Grandfather , whom adored and was so Proud of his Family .. Always a Smile and a good listener to everyone ..Yeats ago I used to clean for them , always a good conversation and I can still visualize him rout on his riding lawnmower cutting their property .,

So saddened to hear of Mr. Fairchild’s passing. He was my football coach at North Park when I was a student there between 1970 and 1974. Frank had a terrific sense of humour and was a great role model for students. My condolences to the family and may he rest in peace.

To Anne and family— my love and sympathy is sent to you on the loss of Frank. It has been a long difficult road these past years, and he is finally at peace. Frank was many things to many people, always encouraging, insightful, full of fun and smiling! My late husband, Fred Rhodes, Don Ciotti and Frank met in their early years of teaching at North Park, and were soon coaching the Senior Boys' Football Team. Their friendships included wives, children and many visits to our cottage. Life long memories were made there and continue to remain very special. I trust the memories of your lives with Frank and his love for you, will bring courage, comfort and eventually peace.
