I will miss Fran and the e-mails, the times at Maple Grove Super Chevy, the phone calls and the dinners in Lancaster (Pa). They were the best of times. Rest in peace Fran. Big Tom

To Fran, my big Bro,
You were a great help to my Mom and me while we watched your Dad slip away. Then when you got sick, we wrote each other often, and I felt closer to you than I do to my brothers by birth. I will miss you but I'm so glad your suffering is over! I know how miserable you were.
Mom and I will stay in close contact with Claudia. Rest in Peace, Big Bro, Rest in Peace!

Fran
There are no words to express how much I will miss you. As my companion for over 42 years the void will be incredible. The peace I have is that you fell asleep at home with me and will not have to indure the suffering of the cancer and emphasema anymore. I hated every day watching you struggle, and now it is over for you and you can be at peace. I love you Toots!

Fran was instrumental in providing powertrain clarity for many in the GM collector car world.
Had it not been for his passion, dedication,and knowledge we as enthusiasts would be far less educated on some of the greatest performance production days GM ever experienced.
Thoughts and prayers to his family,he will be missed by many.
