It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Board of Directors and volunteers of the Orange County Farmers Museum announce the passing of our beloved President, Frank Cass.
Frank was far more than an organizational leader; Whether he was rolling up his sleeves to work on vintage equipment, assisting in organizing seasonal events, or sharing a warm, unhurried conversation with a first-time visitor, Frank brought an unmatched passion and generosity of spirit to the museum grounds every day.
Frank possessed a rare ability to bridge the past and the future, instilling in young and old alike a deep appreciation for the hands and traditions that built our community. His wisdom, practical resolve, and gentle humor left an enduring mark on everyone fortunate enough to work alongside him.
We extend our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers to Frank’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. While the loss is immeasurable and his presence on the grounds will be dearly missed, Frank’s legacy is firmly rooted in the museum he loved so deeply.
In his honor, the Orange County Farmers Museum will continue to carry forward the mission, community spirit, and enduring vision he championed so faithfully.
