Re: Obit: MacPHEE, Frank Edward

Thanks Bliss.

I was comparing Dorothy’s obit (below) with Frank’s. Neither one mentions the other.

It appears Frank may have 4 sons, Todd, Robert, Jeff and Brent per his obit but Dorothy’s obit only references 2 sons, Todd and Robert.

Perhaps Jeff and Brent are Robert’s? A ; in lieu of a , sure would help.

David,

Don't know the absolute for you; think that Todd and Robert are sons. Robert named after ???? Dorothy Elizabeth Ryan's father, Robert Ryan. I don't know who Ryan is per your note.
Paula is Todd's first wife who died young leaving at least three sons, I believe
Justus, Jerico, Jaeden. Maybe more.
Paula daughter of Gary and Dorothy (Fisher) Copeland.

Copelands are from our old neighbourhood but having left there over 20 years ago some things are vague in my old skull.

Would anyone know if Frank Edward has 2 sons or 4 sons?

The obit could be taken either way as it’s worded.

Sons, Todd and Robert OR sons, Todd, Robert, Jeff and Brent.

I believe Dorothy Elizabeth Ryan to be the mother of Todd and Ryan.

Thanks.
