Fran, being one of your 1st cousins, I have known you all my life. We spent many days together at both of our parents' homes while growing up. You never had a bad word for anyone and we all enjoyed being around you. I can never remember you without that great smile on your face. You didn't have a mean bone in your body and were kind to all. This earth has lost a gentle giant but heaven has gained a great human being. You will truly be missed but never forgotten. Love you Fran.

I have known Franny for many years from our days in high school.He was always the nicest guy around..he saw people for who they where, not what group they hung with or how much they where worth. I guess God took him now so he could get the bait ready,a good seat at the bar,or a baseball game ready for us when it is our turn to join him

Denyse, Jessica, Matt, Aidan, and The Friel Family, my deepest sympathies go out to each and every one of you. My words cannot express the sorrow I am feeling for your sudden loss of such a loving, caring, friendly man Fran Friel was. Fran was such a big presence in the town of Maple Shade, he will be sorely missed. I can honestly say from the first day I met Fran he instantly made a lasting impression. He was truly everyone's great friend. My fondest memory of Fran will always be his boyish grin and his infectious laughter when teasing me for something I'd done.
