Frank Michael Trauzzi

It is with great sadness, that we announce the unexpected death of Frank Michael Trauzzi.

Born in Toronto, to Frances (nee Mulle) and Americo Trauzzi, Frank lived in Ontario until moving west with his family in the early 80s.

He was a trusted manager in the construction industry for 40+ years. He and his family moved to Revelstoke in 1984, to work on the Mount MacDonald tunnel. Although, his work took him all over the world, he eventually returned to his home to Revelstoke for retirement.

Frank grew up playing competitive sports, most notably baseball where he played in the Canadian International Tournament with the “Toronto Beaches”. He was an avid poker player and pool shark; however, most people knew him for his love of golf. Frank joined the Revelstoke golf club in 1984 and was a long time member of “the breakfast club”. 

After retirement, Frank continued to enjoy golfing, curling, watching hockey, baseball and football, having lunch with the guys and any time spent with his daughters and grandchildren.

He was known for his knowledge of sport statistics and betting odds, along with his love for McDonald’s and a Diet Coke with a slice of lime.

Frank was a strong, intelligent man of integrity. While often serious in nature, beneath the surface lay a genuine and playful sense of humour that endeared him to everyone lucky enough to witness it. He took pride in his independence and family.

Frank is survived by his two daughters, Ashley De Vos (Steve) and Karley Trauzzi; along with their mother, Joanne. Frank was ‘Papa’ to his four beloved grandchildren — Piper, Nixon, Felix, and Leo — of whom he was incredibly proud.” He is predeceased by his parents and older brother, Joe.

Although his death was unexpected, Frank’s family takes comfort in knowing that he spent many years of enjoyment doing what he loved, surrounded by the people he loved; along with life’s simple pleasures.  He is considered a legend to many and while his passing has left a hole in our hearts; may he rest in peace.

Frank’s family encourages those who knew him to play a round of golf or hit a bucket of balls at the range, in his honour.
