Not sure what to say?

Our families met as parishioners at Saint Kieran in Chicago Heights back in the early 70s. Mr. Franke was an integral part of my junior high and high school years. He always had genuine interest in what was going on in my life and he was dedicated to family life. Our families became very close and we hold many priceless memories, many on account of Mr. Franke. Even though we didn´t keep in contact over the last many years, he would continually pop up as I reminisced; and I´m happy to learn...

May he rest in peace Amen

Dear Chico Jacqueline and all of the Franke family, Sending you love and strength at this difficult time. We have such fond memories of spending time with Bill, both in Ireland and in Chicago at the time of your wedding. He was so proud of his family and had a great sense of fun. Ronan was always fascinated with his stories of "The Villages". He was a very dapper gentleman and overall legend. Rest in peace dear Bill. Ronan, Grainne, Rory & Dan O'Driscoll.

To the family of Bill my deepest condolences for your loss. From someone who worked with Bill for 10 years I always enjoyed working with him as we also became friends, I enjoyed his wit, humor and shared his love for Portillos

Dear Chico and family We are all thinking of you today, on the day of your father's funeral. We are very sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of love from Dublin Johanna, Barry & Ruby.
