FRANCESCO “FRANK” MANCINI

January 9, 1931 – March 15, 2024

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Frank Mancini on March 15, 2024, at the age of 93. 


Those closest to Uncle Frank knew that this past year had been quite challenging. His determination was evident though as he fought every battle with courage. A special thank you to all who visited, especially Cathy, Germaine, Ashley, and Angela. Visits from Jiwan, Shelan, and Carson meant a lot to him too. He also enjoyed the regular phone calls from Frank and Patricia Stephens. 


Uncle Frank was very grateful for the daily visits from Lisa and Emre who were dedicated and committed to ensuring the best quality of life for him and continually advocating for his well-being right until his passing. 


Frank’s true passion was cars. He was the founding member of the Winnipeg Sports Car Club in 1952.He owned many sports cars over the years, but his favorite was the 1948 MG TC which he proudly drove to the first meeting.


In the 1950’s, Frank started his career as a mechanic and eventually opened Metro Motors in 1960 with his brother, Vic. Metro Motors specialized in foreign cars and was the place to go to have your car rebuilt or repaired. They operated their business for 53 years until they both retired in 2013. 


Frank had many accomplishments in his lifetime. In 1966, Frank won the “Canadian Snap-on Mechanic of the Year.”  The same year he was chief mechanic for his good friend George Chapman who went on to win the Canadian Driving Championship. Frank was also an accomplished racer winning several Winnipeg Sports Car Club events in the 60’s. Frank was inducted into the Manitoba Motorsports Hall of Fame in March 2017. 


Frank had many interests other than cars. He loved to travel and enjoyed trips to Germany, Italy, Canada, and the US. He was a collector of many things such as car models, trains, and books. He loved looking at old pictures and newspaper clippings of family and friends and usually had a story & a laugh to go along with each. 


Uncle Frank is predeceased by his parents Henry and Mary; his brothers Don and Vic; his sister Sheila; and his Auntie Nettie. Frank also leaves behind many family members and friends to mourn his loss. We all have our own special memories of Frank-when you think of him, please cherish the good ones. He was a special man, with a kind heart and spirit. He will be deeply missed.


At Frank’s request there will be no service. Rest in peace, Uncle Frank.
