Francis Pletl was a very sweet man who will be sincerely missed. He and his wife were a welcomed recent addition to Hampton Roads. While we didn't have the opportunity to see him often, it was always a pleasure when we did. And I'm sure he'll live on through the very large family he leaves behind, and especially Brian who we've come to think of as our family as well over the years. Your family is in our prayers.

A very kind, decent and upright man. The Church was always a little brighter when he and Betty were there every Saturday evening. I will miss him.
