Franklin Elliott

April 10, 1933 - Sept. 15, 2020

As published in the October 12, 2020 World-Spectator

Frank was born during the depth of the depression in Welby, a small Saskatchewan hamlet on the CN rail.
Always industrious, Frank worked as a farm hand, on road construction and was training as a grain elevator agent when he returned to the family farm in the ‘60s. It is here, in the picturesque Qu’Appelle Valley, where he worked and lived alongside his father and brothers.

Frank was a quintessential cowboy. He led a humble, quiet, and thoughtful life. He had a deep love of horses and enjoyed reading and discussing topics such as WWII, cars, and UFOs.

Frank was predeceased by his parents John and Ellen, brothers Jim and Len, and sisters Joyce and Valarie. He is survived by brother Ted, cousin Pauline and numerous nieces and nephews including Debbie Adams, Kristi Fedoroff and Ted Hus.

We will deeply miss his conversations, his bright smile and brilliant blue eyes sparkling beneath his cowboy hat.
