Obituary of Mr. David Lindo Francis

Obituary: DAVID LINDO FRANCIS

It is with great sorrow that we announce David Lindo Francis, passed away on Thursday, October 31st at Markham Stouffville Hospital.

David, age 88, lived a full life.  He is survived by his wife Joyce, brother Egbert, sister Marie, children, Marlene, Jacqueline, Jullie, and Michael, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren.

David was a kind, loving, joyful individual who had a witty sense of humour. He had a remarkable ability to make you feel relaxed and comfortable in his presence. David often shared words of wisdom and was bluntly truthful and lovingly direct when necessary.

He loved music, particularly soulful R&B, ol’skool reggae, oldies, but goodies.  David enjoyed watching Westerns, black-and-white films, and action movies and he never shied away from a James Bond or Clint Eastwood flick.

Throughout his long fulfilling career at General Motors, David developed rich, lifelong friendships with his co-workers. After retiring, he enjoyed tending to his garden, taking part in family events and spending time with friends.

As a loving and devoted husband, David had an immense passion for his wife.  He was a model father, who showed unconditional love to his children. David was always someone you can count on when you needed support or a word of advice. As we grapple with the loss of his physical presence, we find solace in knowing he is no longer suffering and is with Christ.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the wonderful staff at Markham Stouffville Hospital, Unit 3WF for their compassionate care of David during his time there.   

Flowers can be sent to the Ogden Funeral Home, 4164 Sheppard Ave. East,   

 Agincourt, ON M1S 1T3.
