Richard A. "Dick" Sartor, age 96 of Canton, passed away April 15, 2024. He was born May 16, 1927 in Sandusky, Ohio to Carroll and Loretta Sartor.

Answering the call of duty, Dick proudly served his country with the United States Navy during WWII. After his time in the service, he continued his education at the University of Detroit, where he earned his bachelor’s degree. Dick was a math teacher at University of Detroit Jesuit High School before becoming one of the first computer programmers working for Ford Motor Company.

With his unwavering Catholic faith, Dick was always grateful for the many blessings he was bestowed. He was truly thankful and appreciated the kindnesses of others no matter how small. He deeply loved God, his family, and of course, Cleveland baseball. On any given day, you could find Dick enjoying a football game, telling a good story or keeping his mind sharp with puzzles. He never shied away from treating himself to a good donut, slice of cherry pie, or an ice cream drumstick. Growing gladiolus as a child, his love for the flowers will forever remain a loving memory for his dear family. Dick lived a long and good life, and he will be deeply missed by all who loved him.

Dick was the beloved husband of Margaret “Peg” for 52 years. Devoted father of Michelle (David) Girolamo and Maureen (Ryan Welch) Sartor. Loving grandfather of Brixon, Elliot and Kendra Schmiesing.
