Obituary for Frank Sloan
Frank J. Sloan
Peacefully, at Woodstock General Hospital after a battle with cancer, Thursday, November 21, 2019 with family at his side, Francis Joseph Edmond Sloan. Loving husband of Sandra (Myers) and stepson Ian Myers. Beloved father of John (Margaret), Mary McKee (Jim), and Patrick (Lisa). Adored grandfather of Erin, Megan, Katie, Daniel, Dominique, Anna, Colette, Ryan and Leahm. Lovingly remembered by his brother John (Ann) and sister Diane Pagan (Norman).
Born in 1938, Frank grew up in Timmins Ontario. He was a devoted and honored educator, first as an elementary school teacher and then school principal in Galt (now Cambridge) ON. In 1969 Frank came to Woodstock, ON, as Superintendent of Schools and then Director of Education for the Oxford County Roman Catholic Separate School Board. Frank loved his family deeply. He enjoyed outdoor living spending many a summer on family camping trips and then later at the family cottage near Wiarton ON. Over the past 30 years Frank has been a devoted and supportive grandfather, always seeking to do something special for each grandchild at major milestones in their lives. Frank was also dedicated to service, to his church and the broader community. He was a long-time member of the Rotary Club in Woodstock and Wiarton and a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus.
