Shiloh Community Church extends its' deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family of Rev. Dr. FrancisCo (Frank) Joseph Guinta. May Gods' comforting embrace be with you all as you mourn your loss!!

Dear Frank, Donna and Guinta Family: I cannot think of Frank Sr. without smiling, laughing or thanking God for his remarkable life. Just two weeks ago I was sharing memories of Frank Sr.'s ministry in Yarmouth with some folks who now attend our home Church here in New Brunswick and what a marvelous time we had recounting our various experiences with this most delightful and gregarious man. I loved to hear him preach, I loved to hear him talk and I loved to watch him live life so fully and richly. He was a dear man and will be missed by all who knew him. One of the things I loved most about him was that the friends of his children were his friends and more than that a part of the Guinta family. My wife Linda and I send our condolences and we will be praying for you as your family says it earthy farewells on July 23rd. But isn't it wonderful that there awaits for us the certainty of a heavenly "Hello." Just one more thing for you Frank Jr., please note the things said about your Dad above and know that Linda and I believe that "the apple did not fall far from the tree!" God bless you all. Rev. Charles and Linda Thompson

To Frank Jr., family, Peter, David and Alexandra. I was so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He lived a long life. I remember my visits to Florenceville and Bridgetown with Alexandra after we meet at school in NS. He had a long life and certainly served in the Baptist Ministry for a very long time. My sincere condolences to you you all.

We wish to offer our sincerest condolence to Frank's family. Long ago our families shared the experience of life in Shannon Park while Frank and my father were at sea . Terry And Sandra Pinnell

Frank and Donna, Our Sympathy on the loss of your father,Frank. We enjoyed meeting him, always a gentleman and he had a great sense of humor. He was a fine Christian who we are sure influenced many people while serving as their pastor. May many happy memories comfort you as you mourn his passing and celebrate his long life. Sincerely, Hedley and Ethel Fulton

Linda and I offer our deepest sympathy. Frank was a very special man and we have many memories of Bible Studies and open discussions,.

Frank Jr., and Family, on behalf of my wife Hope & Family, sincere condolence. I remember your father as a young boy when he came to our house to eat when he was a guest Preacher at Cherry Brook UBC, Cherry Brook, Halifal County, NS, and then got to really know him as my chaplain at 18th Dartmouth Air Cadet Squadron, Dartmouth. He will indeed be missed. Psalm 23:1 . . ."The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" Pastor Brian O. Johnston, Truro, NS

Frank and family..condolences on the passing of your Dad..What a remarkable life! Bernie Hawkins Kentville

On behalf of the Porter family, Judy and I would like to express our sympathy to Frank and the family. I remember Frank, Sr. singing in Wentworth when I was a young lad, and then again at services in Overton (the drive in type). My Dad (Doug) was called home July 9th, just a few days after your dad. Maybe he and Frank are singing in the heavenly choir together, now! I'd like to think so, anyway.

Frank & family, my heartfelt condolences to you all. The death of our loved ones can be difficult, but we can be thankful that God draws near to us in such times and offers comfort and peace. Psalms 116:15 gives this assurance: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants." Your father was a tireless servant of the Most High and now rests from his labour, being welcomed into eternity as one of God's precious children. May your hearts be comforted by this truth. With sincere sympathy, Dr. Rhonda Y. Britton St. Pastor, New Horizons Baptist Church Halifax, NS

Jane and I wish to send our condolances to Frank and Donna and family at the loss of your loved one.

Dear Frank, David, Peter, Alexandra and family. We were saddened to read the obituary for your father. We are grateful that he heard the call of the Lord Jesus to follow Him and that your father served the Lord Jesus throughout his life. We are also grateful for the words of the Lord Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me though he die yet shall he live." John 11:25 We are remembering you in prayer. Sincerely in Christ,

Frank, God gave you an amazing Father who obviously passed on his call to ministry to you as well. He now sees his Saviour face to face and of course one day you will also do the same. So sorry about your loss.

So sorry for your loss Frank & Donna. We so enjoyed having Frank Sr. join us in service at WBC.

Such joy in knowing he is now safely in the arms of our Lord. Charlie and Cathy Milner

Having worked with Rev. Guinta at Clyde Avenue Baptist Church, I can honestly say that he was a one of a kind guy. He always made you smile no matter what kind of day you were having.
