From the short period of my life that I knew you, you will always be remembered. Every foul ball candy bag will bring back memories of you leaping off bleachers to race kids to a foul ball, all for that 25¢ candy bag reward. Your smile was mirrored by all who knew you. You are missed already. Farewell.

My deepest sympathy to the Sarton family for your loss of a loved one. I refered to Frank as Bill's friend and buddy, generally my meetings with Frank was lunch at Fonbo's with him and Bill or dropping off a rototiller at the house for the garden. Frank was a really good guy.

Frank was a great person and we're deeply saddened by your loss. He always had a smile on his face, a humorous quip and a fun loving nature. We'll remember him best at the Christmas parties where he'd play a heartfelt round of foosball with Mitch, Katy and Carey. At this time of loss, take comfort in knowing that he is with you in spirit. Our thoughts are with you.
