Frank J. Burgoyne died at his home in Billings, four days after his 62^nd birthday.  Frank was born September 23, 1944 in Detroit, Michigan to Henry Burgoyne and Aline (Rollin) Burgoyne.  He moved with his family to Billings, MT at the age of nine where he attended Fratt and Billings Central, graduating in 1963.

He married his high school sweetheart, Jeanne Wantoch, in October of 1965.  Frank and Jeanne celebrated each of their 40 anniversaries with a Fall trip.

Frank is survived by his wife Jeanne; his three children, Michelle (Okaidja) Afroso, Jeanine Burgoyne, and Andre` (Heather Dillon) Burgoyne; and his two grandchildren, Okailey Afroso and Finnegan Dillon Burgoyne.  He is also survived by five of his six siblings, Xavier, Theresa, Margaret (Bingo), Marie and Pauline.  His sister Mary Ann preceded him in death.

Frank felt blessed to find his life long calling for carpentry.  It was his means of income, his hobby and his passion.  The world has lost a true craftsman.
