Francis Charles Carter (Frank) passed away peacefully on Wednesday March 22, 2023, just shy of his 96th birthday. He is survived by his loving wife Mary Jo Carter (Sharp) and his children Peter Carter (Lisa), Ann-Marie Copping (Allan), Lisa Krasny (David), Andrea Carter (Rob). He is also lovingly remembered and missed by his grandchildren, Fraser, Lauren, Kasia, Ellie, Carter, Maya, Grant, and Ryan.
Frank was born in Liverpool England and made his way to Canada in 1949, making his home in Vancouver where he met and eventually married Mary Jo. Frank was a licensed Carpenter and after obtaining his Teacher’s Certificate taught woodworking at Point Grey Highschool for many years. Frank loved to spend time on the golf course at the University Golf Club and playing tennis at Jericho Tennis Club. Impressively, his last round of golf was in the fall of 2022, and he was still winning prizes with his straight drives down the fairway and occasionally scoring at or below his age until the end. Frank always looked forward to traveling with family to Europe, Whistler, Palm Springs, Florida, and Hawaii where many fond memories and adventures took place.
