Frank (Frank) Joseph Sitterle

Born on May 5, 1936, in Victoria, Texas to Raymond and Bertha Sitterle, Frank lived a life defined by faith, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to his community. After earning his Bachelor of Science degree from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Frank followed his entrepreneurial spirit and founded Sitterle Homes in 1964. Over the next six decades, his visionary work ethic and integrity transformed the housing landscape of San Antonio and its surrounding areas, leaving a flourishing business and a lasting impression on generations of colleagues and homeowners.

While he achieved great professional success, Frank’s greatest joy was always his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Ann Sitterle, who lovingly and beautifully cared for him at home until his final breath. He is also survived by his brother, Dan Sitterle. Frank’s legacy lives on through his four children and their spouses: Teresa Wachter (Mike), Kathy Culbertson (Scooter), Sally Bancroft, and Frank Sitterle, Jr. (Kim). He was the adored "Papaw" to seven grandchildren—Michael Wachter, Christopher Wachter, Chelsea McCormack, Rachel Rubio, Trey Sitterle, David Sitterle, and Emma Sitterle—and was blessed with two great-grandchildren, Oliver and Cameron Rubio.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Frank was a man of diverse passions. He was an avid fisherman and hunter, an enthusiastic student of geology, and an adventurous traveler who loved exploring the world.
