Longtime horseman Frank Herold of LaSalle, Ont. passed away on Monday, Feb. 29. He was in his 75th year.

Herold was an avid and dedicated horseman who truly loved the sport. Pretty much from the inauguration to the final days of Windsor Raceway, Herold was a true follower.

Herold was also an avid picker of collectibles. Among his favourites were Coca Cola and Betty Boop, the latter being displayed as the license plate on his wife Betty's car.

He is survived by his wife Betty and children Nancy (Brian), Ron (Sheila) and Ken (Alma), along with several grandchildren.

Cremation has taken place and his remains are resting at Families First Funeral Home at 585 Sandwich St.S. in Amherstburg. Visitation will be Friday, March 4 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., as well as Saturday, March 5 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. A gathering and lunch with family and friends will follow at the Royal Canadian Legion in Harrow at 41 McAffee St.

Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the family and friends of Frank Herold.
