Frank Johannesen Gustin

"You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."

Frank gave freely of himself,
Frank was no respecter of persons,
A real gentle man,
A true gentleman.

Dear Gloria and family: Mary Kay joins me in sending you our thoughts and prayers. Frank and I were classmates at the Univ. of Washington and we both joined the Phi Delt fraternity in 1951. Our class of 55 ( nicknamed Beta U's) loved and was amused by Franks musical talents , especially his " Casey at the
Bat" routie. On behalf of all the brothers, we send out sympathies to all of you. We will miss Frank and remember him as a rich and valued friend and a role model of christian leadership. John R. Fitzgerald DDS

Dear Tina and Gustin Family....I'm so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences go out to you Tina and to your family. Julie (Nelson) Adair

Dear Gustin Family,
We are deeply saddened to hear of Frank's passing. Our sincere condolences to your family.

I will always be grateful to Frank and his law partners at Gustin Adams Kasting and Liapis for taking a risk and hiring a brand new attorney from a new Washington law school back in 1981. Frank was a great mentor and friend.

Dear Gloria, Z, Julie and Tina....
What great memories I have of Frank. He was an extraordinary person and will be truly missed. I will always remember fondly all the great conversations we had. over a martini. (stirred not shaken)Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.. Love, Jen

Dear Julie, Zannie and Tina-
I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet father. I hope you know how many people love and adore your family. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Frank was a gentleman's gentleman. He was one of the kindest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. He always had a joke and smile. Thanks to him and Fr. Wirth, I had a great job working as the sexton of All Saints many years ago. Frank, you are missed greatly, and to this day I try not to let people "take advantage of my good nature."

What a wonderful obituary! No one who ever knew Frank could remember him without a smile. The Borthick family will long remember the good times and days spent making memories and sharing lives. Our love to Gloria, Julie, Zannie, and Tina.

Dear Gloria;
It was a pleasure to come into the Gustin household for the years we knew Frank. Some days we were greeted by his contagious smile, which made us feel so welcomed. He was a happy guy, very proud of you & your family. We won't forget him. You both were top on our list for our favorite clients. Good-bye Frank..& thank-you for your friendship.

Gloria: Jill and I were very saddened to hear of Frank's passing. We have precious recollections of the good times had with you, Frank and the other members of Law Club. I recall with great fondness the times I had with Frank after he recruited me to Law Club almost 40 years ago. He also got me involved in Speaker's Table where I was able to further appreciate his musical skills when we would deliver toys to the kids in Primary Children's Hospital at Christmas, with Tom Barberi doing his "Chief Santa" routine while Frank played his accordion and we sang carols. Knowing Frank has enriched the lives of more people than one can count. Ken and Jill Perkins

As a neighbor, Frank was someone who immediately ennobled and enlightened any group with his gracious and genuine smile and awesome intellect. In his passing, a little bit of each of us also has been lost. RIP Frank. You are irreplaceable and an ongoing inspiration to those who survive you.

asey at the Bat " routine. On behalf of all the Phi Delt brothers in the 1955 class we bid out love and admiration to you all. John R. Fitzgeradl DDS

I am saddened at Frank's passing, glad to have had the privilege of knowing him during my years at All Saints. He and his family are remembered in my prayers.

Just wanted to give you and yhour family my best. Your father souns like a wonderful person, just like Susanne is. I pray that God will give you peace and jpy as you think on your father's good life.

Dear Aunt Gloria and the rest of the Gustin "girls",

You were fortunate to have such a wonderful life partner, and touchstone for living and learning, here on Spaceship Earth.

Thanks for your remembrance of Uncle Frank. This fills in some of the gaps for me, reminds me of the value of virtuous living, and certainly reinforces the power that a good sense of humor will give you over life's obstacles and misfortunes.

Though he whisked away my Aunt to SLC, I am grateful that Frank, and you all, were there to soften Grandma Millie's loss of Grandpa Jim. She certainly blossomed in SLC.

My mother, Joan Marie, missed the opportunity to see Julie, Zannie, and Tina grow. I'm sure she was happy for my Aunt Gloria when Frank came into her life.

Life stories that will not be forgotten.

Frank was one of my best friends in high school. He, Fred, and Vern and myself had a comic group called " The hot billy hill shots". What fun we did have. So sorry to hear about his passing. He will always be remembered as my friend. Love to Gloria and family. Hal Kindred

Gloria and family --

We are saddened to hear about the loss of Frank -- what a guy! We have many fond memories of the fun we had every time we were at a function with Frank and you, and the rest of the gang. Frank was always the life of the party. We will always carry him in our hearts.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you -- Gary and Paulette Birdsall

We will miss Frank, and had the sad time of telling Dick and Marvel Leader of the bad news down here in Yuma.

Gloria ,Zanie ,Julie and Tina.I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I was so glad to have known him and to know all of you. Although it has been some time sense I worked for you, I still remember how welcome all of you made me feel and how Frank would always have some good word to say to me. Always made me feel more guest, than worker.
Gloria and girls,I know how hard it is to loose your partner and father, as I lost my wife in 2010 after 40 yrs. and it still hurts pretty bad. You will have wonderful memories and each other and "that" is alot.

A beautifully written tribute to a man whose essence can't be captured with words. The world is a better place because he was in it. It was an honor to know him and to continue to know the wonderful legacy he leaves in his beautiful wife and daughters.

Dear Gloria and girls,
He was the best of the best. A true man's man and a very hard act to follow.. He lit up any room with his stories. A great man in every aspect of life. It was honor to be a friend of Frank's..

Gloria, Julie, Zanie,and Tina - We all share in your loss. Frank was respected by all who knew him. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Frank and Marcia "Timmy" Smith
