Dear Ippoliti Famliy,

With deepest Sypmathy

Fran Fran is and will always be a great guy, the kind that wore his heart on his sleeve and whould do anyting to help you out.

He always had a smile on his face and made you smile when you where feeling blue, and was always making you laugh.
I met Franny through my boyfriend Chirs and his brother Rudy Balliro. Life long friends of Franny. We also worked with Fran Fran at the Tweeter Center and the Orpheum Theartre.

Frany was liked and loved by many. I will miss but never forget Fran Fran.
Franny will alway have a place in my heart. May you rest in peace.

I LOVE YOU FRAN FRAN

To the Ippoliti Family & Friends,

My sincerest condolences on Franny. The vivid memories I have of running around the asphalt school yard at St. Catherine's with him or laughing it up in the halls of the High School disguise the amount of time that has passed. Even so, while the two of us went in pursuit of different dreams after graduation, it was always a hearty handshake, smiles, and a good laugh when we bumped into one another. It's a shock to think that won't happen again. My heart goes out to all of you who knew him best and miss him most. I hope the memory of his smile and his voice bring you solace and happy moments now and in the future.

Sincerely,

Donna (Dalton) Brown

Dear Mr & Mrs Ippoliti,
I was very sorry to read about the death of Franny in today's paper.
I had taught Franny at St. Catherine's School many years ago. (I was Mr. Walters then.)
I remember him fondly. He is with the angels now. May he rest in peace.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ippoliti,

Although we hadn't seen one another in recent years, I knew Franny well in high school.

It was always a pleasure to talk with him. Franny made people feel like they made his day whenever they stopped for a quick chat.

Franny was truly a very nice man. It was my pleasure to call him a friend.
