I did not know Francis but do know several of his brothers and sisters. My sympathy to the entire family.
Aunt Jeannie, so sorry to hear Uncle Francis passed away. Wayne and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Please pass along our condolences to the family.
So sorry for your loss
So sorry for the loss of Frank. I always enjoyed seeing him from way back when we lived on the farm.
Crazy timing for 2 such caring, generous men. Neither one knew a stranger. I will never forget Hainey cooking us dinner by kerosene lantern shortly after moving here, some 30+ years ago, during the many power shortages. Frank will be missed.
