We regret to advise of the death of Firefighter Chief Petty Officer Second Class Leonard Francis “Frank” Pike, CD (Ret’d) of Dartmouth NS on 11 April 2023 at the age of 93 years.

Formerly of Sydney, Cape Breton, Frank worked in the Steel Plant until 1954.  Frank then moved to the mainland, with family in tow, to serve in the Royal Canadian Navy. 

Frank proudly served on the HMCS Magnificent, Bonaventure, Margaree and Preserver, to name a few. When ashore, he worked at the Canadian Forces Base Shearwater NS Fire Hall as a Crew Chief.  After retiring from the Canadian Forces, he continued working as a civilian firefighter at the Dockyard Fire Hall.

Cremation has taken place and there will be a private family gathering at a later date. Online condolences can be sent to the funeral home.
