Daniel John DeFrancis

One of the best teachers I had at FDR. I still remember him almost 40 years later

I had Mr. DeFrancis for 7th grade at Haviland Jr. High. Really liked him. I am a FDR High class of 1962 Graduate. May he rest in peace.

I was in the class of 1961 Roosevelt High and I think I might have been in Mr. DeFrancis' first class as a teacher. I have nothing but fond memories of the man. May he rest with the angels.

Our thoughts and prayers to all. God bless.

Absolutely Mr. DeFrancis was one of my favorite teachers ever. Very good Man. Will be Missed

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family! He was one of the greatest teachers I had at Haviland Middle School 1968-69 He was not just a great teacher he stood by his students. I had a problem were everyday I would get a note in my desk from someone and the notes were not very nice. Mr Defrancis made sure he found out who was doing this and caught the kid I will just say the kid never did anything like that again. My father was in Vietnam at the time so I was very thankful he took care of...

Dan was a wonderful history teacher.And a great man.When I lived in the Children's Home he would come to visit with the teachers and I couldn't wait to take him on a tour of were I lived,He was so thoughtful and was very concerned if i was happy their.RIP Dan.You will be missed.Fly with the angels,You have earned your wings.
