Fran was a wonderful man and somewhere in Heaven, he and Les DeFord are building something out of wood and having a great time. We know Les is happy to have his Best Friend up there with him now.

We loved his outlook on life and his terrific sense of humor. We will miss you greatly, Fran, our friend and buddy.

You and all of your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

We love you all,

Lee and Dawn DeFord
