It is with extreme sadness that the family of Frank Hildebrandt announces his sudden passing on January 13, 2023 at the age of 80.
Frank was predeceased by his parents John and Pauline Hildebrandt; his sisters Kay Grenkow, Jean Dzogan, Marion England; brothers-in-law Frank and Russ Grenkow, Bill Dzogan, Les England; father and mother-in-law Leon and Marie Vany; brothers-in-law Marcel and Lawrence Vany.
Frank leaves to mourn his wife Marie and their precious fur baby Eric; son Conrad and Frank's grandchildren Zaelia, Uriah and Zenyn; daughter Tanya (Les) Surkan and Frank's grandchildren Taya and Kiarra; his sister Mary Grenkow and brother Joe (Hilda) Hildebrandt; sister-in-law Jeanette Hildebrandt; many nieces and nephews and their families; Marie’s family of whom Frank thought so highly of as well as numerous friends.
Frank was born and raised in Limerick, Sask. After high school, Frank joined the Moose Jaw police. He worked for the Department of Highways for 25 years. After retirement, he worked for private consultants doing the same job. Frank also worked with the Commissioners for a short time. Frank's passion was having the greenest lawn and the cleanest car in the neighborhood. Frank's greatest joy was his children and grandkids. Frank made friends everywhere he went.
There will be no funeral.
A Private Celebration of Frank's Life will be held at a later date. Friends so wishing may make memorial donations to the Heart and Stroke foundation (www.heartandstroke.ca ) or the Regina Humane Society (www.reginahumanesociety.ca ) in Frank's memory.

So sorry to hear of Franks passing. I worked with Frank at Highways. He was such a good friend, colleague and mentor. My sympathy to Frank’s family. Rest in peace Frankie.
Our sympathy to Frank's family. My family is from Limerick as well and my brothers worked with Frank and knew him well. We hadn't seen him in quite a while, but when he was home, the gathering place was the Limerick Hotel owned by Frank's sister in law, Hilda. Always lots of fun and laughter when Frank was around.

Marie, so shocked and saddened to learn of Frank's passing. You and Frank were such great next door neighbours to Audrey and I. I loved talking to Frank and hearing his stories and we solved so many world problems while out shovelling snow or cutting our lawns :) He will be missed. P.S. Sorry to tell you that Audrey passed away 4 months ago to the day when Frank did.
I had the pleasure of working with Frank at the Dept of Highways, until he took early retirement. He was a great man, and you never saw him loose his cool. He knew people wherever you were working…and you could tell, everybody liked him.Rest in peace.
I had the pleasure of knowing Frank for nearly 45 years after meeting him the first day working at Highways. He was happy to share his wealth of knowledge of road building and respected everyone who worked with him. Good times on the job and after. So sorry to hear of his passing Marie and family. Frankie will be missed!
