In Loving Memory of

Frank Stratton

1945 - 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather and friend Frank Stratton, who left us peacefully on August 6, 2025 at his home in Ottawa. He was 80.

Frank’s warmth, wisdom, and quiet strength touched the lives of all who knew him. He lived a life marked by integrity, generosity, and love for his family. Whether through his gentle guidance, unwavering support, or timeless stories he shared with his unique sense of humour, he left an enduring mark on the hearts of everyone privileged to know him.

Born on January 26,1945 in Cornerbrook, Newfoundland, Frank had a lifelong love of learning and a passion for technology, ham radio, music and photography. His curiosity and creativity were constants throughout his life.

Frank was predeceased by his parents Edwin Llewelyn Stratton and Eva White, his brother Herman Lloyd Stratton and his sister Marie Louisa Stratton. He will be deeply missed by his children, Chris, Kaila and Conrad, extended family, and the many friends whose lives he touched.

Though we mourn his passing, we are grateful for the years we shared and the legacy of love, strength, and kindness he leaves behind. 

Relatives and friends are invited to meet with the family at the Funeral C0-operative of Ottawa (419 St. Laurent Blvd.)  on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Rest peacefully, Dad. You will always be with us.

C'est absolument parfait et décrit très bien Frank. Je n'ai pas eu plusieurs occasions de le rencontrer mais c'est tout à fait l'impression qu'il m'a toujours donnée...intelligent, sympathique, comique, plaisant, aimable, etc... Toutes mes sympathies à vous tous. Vous êtes dans mes pensées.

My heart goes out to you. I was thrilled when you got in touch a few years back and announced you were paying us a visit in New Zeeland. That was so much fun; I just wished we were in better shape to spend more time with you when you were here. But we loved having you for the small time that you were. Thank you so much for your friendship, built from being two odd-balls in that computer Analyst training in California. Remember “Touch, turn and talk”? Wow! But those 10 weeks certainly changed my life! I loved, and will always treasure, the time spent with you and Carole in Burritts Rapids. Thank you for that wonderful time. And then you and a very pregnant Carole were able to attend our wedding in the Santa Cruz Mountains! We have the video taken by Ann’s brother-in-law Rick, and you and Carole pop up in it all the time. Sorry, I should have shown you that video when you were here! So many memories, a lot of them goofy, all of them great treasures. I love you Frank! Ann and I wish you all the very best . Goodbye my old friend.
