I'll remember Frannie always - from when we first met on the basketball court to the last time when I went to one of his practices at North and played with his team. We were lifeguards together at the lakes - and he was with me when I first met my wife June. Godspeed, Fran McDevitt

Norman and I were very sorry to hear about Franny - our condolences to all of the McDevitt Family - unfortunately we are not able to attend the wake or funeral, as we are away and are unable to change our schedule for return.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Sincerely, Sheila and Norman Weinstock
