Francis Rohland STARK

STARK, Francis Rohland. Suddenly on November 20, 2007. Born in Miami, Florida, Frank led an eclectic life. A Harvard educated lawyer, he had a successful legal career for over 20 years and recently retired from CN Investment Division where he held the position of Chief Legal Counsel. From an intellectual pursuit perspective, he was an accomplished astronomer, photographer and collector of fine art. He was also an adventurer and on weekends he would be found at Mont Tremblant's Le Circuit track with the Porsche Club. He had a passion for travel and exotic destinations, his journeys have taken him through the jungles of Africa and Cambodia and the temples of Thailand. He taught law pro bono at the Cambodian Bar for two years in a row. He was an accomplished diver with many advanced certifications and more recently had taken up hang gliding. Frank leaves behind his caring wife Marina Stec and their devoted canine companion, Hunter. While in body Frank may no longer be here, his spirit will remain with those close to him and he will always be remembered as a loving husband, a brilliant lawyer with a passion for excellence and an adventurer in mind, body and spirit. Memorial service private. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Montreal Neurological Institute (514)398-8825 would be appreciated. Published in the Montreal Gazette from 11/24/2007 - 11/25/2007
