Born: May 18th, 1929

Passed in: Sydney

With sorrowing hearts, we, the family, announce the passing of Frank, age 86, in the palliative care unit, of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney.
A private individual and bachelor, Frank was born on May 18, 1929, son of the late Fred and Annie Compton.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sisters, Rose Kent, Halifax County and Marge Rossiter, Ottawa and brother, Fred Compton.
Left to mourn his passing are his sisters, Helen MacLeod, Howie Center, his caregiver in recent years, Irene (Ian) Fleming, Dartmouth and Beverley (Sherman) Williams, Avonport; brother, Jack (Rose) Compton, Westmount; sister-in-law, Marie Compton, Ottawa; nieces, Heather MacAskill, Janet Calder, Rosanne Compton, Diane Embree and Cynthia Cunningham; nephews, Ken MacLeod, Kent Williams, Stephen Williams, Wayne Kent and Fred Kent.
There will be no visitation. In keeping with Frank’s wishes, a private family ceremony will be held at a later date.
We, the family, wish to thank the nursing staff and doctors of the palliative care unit for the excellent and compassionate care they provided to Frank and who made his remaining days comfortable and his passing painless. Special thanks and endless gratitude to Karl and Marie Hollohan, Frank’s neighbours, who accepted him and helped when he needed it.
“I go before to prepare a place in his abode.
To reunite with my earthly father and mother
Embracing my sisters and brother
So dry your tears and calm your fears
Together, Fred and I, the race we will run
My journey has just begun
He has promised me to live
and dwell in his heavenly realm
We will walk the path he has trod
To roam at peace and live in
glory to our God”
