I will certainly miss hearing the daily adventures of Mr. Franzin from Marilyn. I will cherish the memories of the Super Bowl Party, seeing Mr. Franzin drop by Highland Park when Marilyn was absent that day with her lesson plans, viewing pictures from the ocean property, and with "the boys." Mr. Franzin had a heart and was an amazing man. He is dearly missed and is watching over his family from heaven.
