Francis Lee Conway, also known to his friends as Frank, who was 33 years old when he died in an
incident on Canal Road in Bradford in the early hours of Friday, June 22nd.
Today his family, mum Carol England, dad Michael Conway, sisters Sarah and Katrina, brother Kieran
and son, 11 year-old Charlie, have issued a tribute to Frank and appealed for anyone with
information about his death to come forward.
Frank grew up in Crosland Moor at Huddersfield and attended Crosland Moor Junior School and Moorend
High, before moving to Flockton in Wakefield, with his mum, when he was 14 years old. He then
attended King James Grammar School in Almondbury. He left his job as a trainee manager for a
supermarket in Huddersfield, about 18 months ago when he moved to Bradford to be closer to Charlie.
Frank got a job at Tesco on Canal Road in Bradford, where he worked up until his death.
This afternoon his family said: "We still can't really believe that Frank has been taken from us. We
feel numb but there are moments when all of a sudden it hits us that he has gone forever and that is
very hard to bear.
"Frank was a very caring and loving person who was full of fun. He would always put other people
before himself. He was extremely proud of his son, Charlie, and never stopped talking about him.
Charlie was always his first priority and we will be concentrating on giving all our love to him and
making sure he always knows how much his dad loved him.
"As a family we are very close and we are giving each other strength. Another thing that is helping
us is the large number of phone calls, cards and flowers, that we have received from people who knew
Frank. It is obvious to us that he was liked and respected by many people.
"It is very hard to come to terms with losing Frank but not knowing exactly what happened in the
moments leading up to his death is making it even worse. We need to know why he died and we urge
anyone who may have seen something in the Canal Road area on that night, or who has information
about what happened, to contact the police and give us that peace of mind.
"Frank was a wonderful son, father, brother, uncle and friend and we will miss him very much."

Just checking in...
Hey sheek. Well went to get together with all your family at the weekend, it was a really good night, still makes me feel close to you when i see everyone like a part of you is still here. Went to see you on sunday on my way home while waiting for the bus and had a good old ramble on to you, filling u in on everything thats happening with me. You were probably having a good laugh at how hungover i was n how rough i looked lol! Was sad being at your grave again, don't really like going there, but don't want you thinking i've forgotten u cos how could that ever be true! love you lots, always and forever lou xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
