Mary Ann and family:
I remember French so fondly from many, many years past: college days at University of Chattanooga prior to UTC status. What a sweet and fun guy then, and I know he can't anything but have become someone who contributed much to any lives he touched. I hold his family in the Light in their grief and hopefully comfort in knowing how much French meant to so many people.
Love, Peggy Scoville Bonnington

I only worked with French at RH for a year but he was instrumental in my decision to serve my country as a Naval Officer and pilot for 30 years. Fair winds and following seas shipmate.
