Dear Linda, It was so nice to know you and your dad, Frank; he was definitely a 'character' to remember. I'll miss you both, so maybe stop by when you're in town. My condolences and best wishes. Susan Crapo

Linda and Kenny:

I'm very sadden to hear about the loss of your Dad and my deepest condolences to you both and your families. Frank was definitely an iconic figure in the neighbor, he was always outside caring for his beautiful lawn and flowers at your house. I fondly remember my childhood and spending so much time going between our two houses. I ran into your Dad a few years ago working in the yard when I drove by the old neighborhood when I was visiting Salt Lake. He had the biggest...

Linda and Kenny, just now found out about the death of Frank. I have been flooded with many memories of our years in the neighborhood and all of the many hours of my childhood spent in your house, of seeing Frank, without his shirt pushing the hand mower along the grass, playing ball at the ballpark, doing his slow jog around Liberty Park...Great memories of your family.....

Dear Linda and the Caputo family~

So sorry for your loss...

It was such a treat to get to know you, and your precious father, "The Sheik."

While the time was short at the Sunrise (for both your father, and my mother), the memories will live on. Like my mother (and father), Frank represented the Greatest Generation, and what an honor to have had their influence in our lives!

I am thankful for the journey shared with you, Linda, and those who serve at the...

Dear Linda and Kenny and family, how proud your Dad was of you two and those four handsome grandsons...We always heard about all of you and what "great kids he had"...His outgoing positive personality and friendly smile always warmed my heart...my children Tami, Kim and Nick loved him as one of the family, sharing laughter and jokes with him whenever we saw him...He was always so engaging, checking out what was going on in their lives. We miss the bag of golf balls he'd find and bring us on...

Enjoyed some great visits in Salt Lake City with this dear man "the Shiek" and the lovely Bonnie Bowers. They are holding hands and catching up in heaven never to be apart again.
Fondly, Bonnie & Terry

Uncle Sheik would always greet us when we visited Salt Lake City, by saying "The Tubbs are in town", and then we would start to enjoy all the Caputo's. Sheik taught me how to be a winner at a young age by taking me to the neighborhood ball field and testing me on my skills to see what kind of baseball player I was-hitting fly balls (what a workout!)and checking my throwing arm. He instilled his driving attitude in me to believe that the athlete I became from high school to college to...
