We regret to advise of the death of Sergeant George Francis "Frank" Percy MM, MiD (Ret'd) at St. Joseph's Health Centre, Toronto on 20 December 2004.

A pioneer in northern Ontario, Frank was a Second World War veteran of the Royal Canadian Engineers. He fought at Dieppe and later through France and the Low Countries and on into Germany, with the 7^th Field Company. He was Mentioned in Dispatches and awarded the Military Medal for outstanding ability and remarkable coolness under fire in a number of operations supporting advancing infantry: first, rescuing wounded sappers during a mine clearance operation on the Orne River front, next clearing a road in Holland, and finally personally disarming a magnetic mine never before seen, in Germany.

An expert in Bailey Bridge construction after the war and a long-time supervisor at Ontario Hydro, he was also a member of the Royal Canadian Legion and a Boy Scout leader. Funeral Service was held in the Windermere Chapel of Turner & Porter York on 23 December 2004. Donations in Frank's memory can be made to a charity of your choice.
