Obituary - Frank Schile

It is with profound sadness that the family of Frank Schile announce his passing in Cornwall, Ontario on Thursday, April 6, 2023, at the age of 88 years. Frank was born in Medicine Hat to Jack and Caroline Schile and was the youngest of nine siblings who have all predeceased him: Anna (Louis) Sauer, Peter (Elizabeth), Andrew (Dorothy), Lottie (Harold) Barnett, Plara (Dick) Drinkle, Magdalena (Tony) Weisgerer and Louis (Barbara). Frank was a lucky man who found love three times with his late wives, Terry Myles and Jean Young and with his current wife, Roberta ‘Bobbie’ Routhier. He will also be fondly remembered by the children and grandchildren of Bobbie and Jean as well as many nieces and nephews. Being called Grandpa, was such a joy to him. Until his retirement, Frank enjoyed a long and successful career with the TD Bank. He loved to travel and spent many winters in Mesa, Arizona. Frank was a prolific reader, loved political debate and all things related to trains, railroads and baseball. He also liked to end most days with a glass of good scotch. Frank will be remembered as an old school gentleman who showed kindness and generosity to everybody he knew and he will be greatly missed! The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, 238 - 2 Avenue N.E., Medicine Hat on Friday, June 2, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. with Father Roque Pereira celebrant.
