Frank Wessels Tribute

Frank Wessels, husband, father and grandfather. Was a hardworking man who loved music and making music. A great musician who often fantasised about performing LIVE with his idols The Shadows. He was a loving husband and dedicated father who stood by his family through hard times and embraced the good times with as much enjoyment as he could. He was a retired grandfather who got to spend 6 wonderful years with a granddaughter who adored him and still does. Never got to meet the grandson who was born exactly 9 months after he left. He was a highly intelligent man, who excelled at school and who was a creative genius. With an imaginative mind like no-one else's. Made all sorts of things, but it was his replica miniature handmade guitars he was most well known for. He spent his time working hard for his family and playing the bass guitar in a number of bands over his 40 year musical career. His later years were mostly spent with his wife, daughters and granddaughter following up to the day he suddenly died. Frank's dreams were big and he lived his life as though he was living a dream. Frank Wessels was an honourable man. He was a great man, and I dedicate this page to him, in his memory.
