I worked with Jim many years ago at Beech Aircraft. Loved our conversations and the pleasure of working with him. He was a wonderful dedicated servant to the State of Kansas. Julia, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time.

Dear Francisco family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny with Paul and Wilma while working at SRS many years ago. They were so kind and genuine all three of them that I always held them in my mind fondly. Then while working for the county appraiser's office and measuring houses, I knocked on a door and who answers from Jim. He was so kind and inviting even asking me to come in and asked me to sit down and rest and have a cup of coffee. While we didn't talk very long, I remember his genuine interest in my job and what it entailed. Such a nice man as is the whole family. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jim and His brother Kenny were good to me and those I took to Topeka often. They allowed them to page and many had a great time learning about the way things are done in the House and in the Senate of Kansas. All of the kids I took did grow up to be great and do great things and Jim was a huge part of their experience he was a truly good guy!

Julia and family, my heart is heavy after seeing the news tonight. Jim was always the bright spot in the office where his laughter was constant. He was a good man that cared so much about everyone he knew. I am so sorry for your loss.

Max & I cherished the Fransciscos, as neighbors in Topeka and as traveling companions. I have many fond memories of our time together. Max passed in Apr. 2017. I'm hoping he and Jim are having a reunion NOW in the Beyond. I'm grieving, and am thinking of you at this difficult time, Julia.

Julia, Jim was such a great man...Doug thought the world of him. I lost Doug October 2012 to cancer, so I think there will be a big party in heaven. RIP Jim...

Brenda, Jimmy, Debbie, Jerry and other family members, I am sorry for your loss. I have such wonderful memories of us all growing up together on N. First Street. Our doors were never locked and we would always just come and go into each other's houses! I pray you all can find strength and comfort in your journey of loss. It sounds like you were all able to be with your Dad at the end. I'm am sure this was of great comfort to him. Hugs, Carlene (Howard) Mansfield

To Erica and Nick, I know how much you loved and cared for your grandfather over the years and even more so in recent days. I pray that our God would bring His peace that passes all human understanding to both of you as well as your whole family today and that you would be comforted to know that your "Granpa" has safely arrived in heaven. May Matthew 5:4 be your portion during these days.
