He was the son of the late Joseph and Beatrice (Baigent) Esseltine. Frank was an employee of CAMI Automotive Inc. until his retirement and was an active Union Steward. His faith was an integral part of his life. Frank was an avid researcher in family ancestry. He took a genuine interest in his relationships with his siblings, nieces and nephews.

This is very sad news. Frank you will be truly missed.
I was thinking of Frank just last week, having missed seeing him every Sunday at Summerside Community Church. That is where we first met in 2018, shortly after Cathy passed. Frank was a very friendly fellow who enjoyed his new church family. Frank loved Jesus and always had words of encouragement. My condolences to his family. May they find peace in his hope of heaven.
Frank was our neighbour for over 20 years. There was many a long talk out in the driveway or in his yard. He prided his yard and had many beautiful flowers there all summer long. He also grew his own vegetables. Just recently I saw Frank at Church and gave him a big hug. That hug will be in my memory forever. We will miss you Frank. Josie & John
Our deepest sympathies to Frank's family. We met Frank and Cathy through a diabetes support group, The Sweet Support, in 1997 and became good friends. Although we didn't speak often enough Frank was always there to listen. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered. Love, Tim & Nellie Grant
From all of the members of Local 88 we extend our condolences, Frank will forever be remembered for his Union activism. Frank gave many of our members happy memories with his smile and stories. Frank was always an active and pride member of Local 88 over the years. It seems like just a few months ago I was speaking to Frank at the retirees meeting, that he regularly attended. Frank was a great person and will be missed. Joe Graves Local 88 President
