Robert “Frank, Pinky” Frank Shrives

On May 6, 2026, passed away suddenly at home, aged 76 years.  Dearly loved and treasured husband of Shelley, generous and vibrant Dad of Adele, Paula, Daniel and Casey, and Brenda, proud and adored Grandad of Brodie, and Kade; Jordy, Georgia, and Maddison; Liam, and Max; Catherine, Olivia, and James, and loving “GG” to his darling Arlo.
Favourite youngest son of the late Dolly and Super, loved brother of Mary Fenemor, and the late Harry. First rate uncle, brother-in-law and friend to many.
