Obituary for Francis Joseph Guyett
Guyett, Frank:
Passed away peacefully on Friday, April 9, 2021 at St. Mary's Hospital at the age of 94.
Beloved husband of the late Marion (2014). Loving father of Anne (Greg), Marie (Trevor), Cathy (Jim), Glen, Gary, and Stephen. Cherished grandpa of Tamara, Beverly, Chad and Christine, 6 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. Dear older brother of Bernard and Dorothy. Predeceased by his sister Marion.
Born in Toronto, his family moved to Arthur Ont. where they owned the local hotel. It was there he met and married Marion and soon after they settled in Kitchener to raise their six children. He enjoyed a successful career as a draftsman before attaining his life underwriter license to become a life insurance advisor.
Musically trained as a child (piano, clarinet, saxophone) and a member of the Ontario Musician’s Union, he performed with many bands over the years. Music was his passion, and he shared this love of music with his family. Frank was happiest when engaged in social activities like attending live concerts, dancing and playing bridge. He is remembered for his kind and loving heart and his zest for life. He will be dearly missed.
“Don’t be ordinary, be extraordinary so the who you are is never really gone, never forgotten, and be more than just a fleeting memory when your light goes out.”
Frank's family will receive relatives and friends from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 15, 2021 at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener. A private Mass will be held at St. Francis R.C. Church followed by a private burial at Williamsburg Cemetery. Those wishing to attend Frank's visitation must RSVP through the funeral home website or by calling 519-749-8467. Frank's Mass may be viewed via live stream at 11 a.m. on Friday, April 16, 2021 at https://www.henrywalser.com/live-streaming
As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Kidney Foundation Canada would be appreciated by the family (cards available at the funeral home).
