Douglas Franco

I'm very sorry for your lost I know how you feel like i lost my sister 2012

So sorry to learn of Doug's death. I'm sure he is meeting up with Charlsetta and Frank Ratliff.

My wife and I were talking about Doug just the other day... we remembering the time our family spent a summer afternoon climbing into a sea container in San Jose warehouse, packing warm clothing and vitamins for some children abroad. He was a good friend, a mentor and motivator to do something greater in life. He talked about his family often and know he held you all in high regards. We still miss him

Dear Franco Family

Doug is still missed and remembered with affection
even after all this time.

The time I was a part of Doug's generous work was a very happy and fulfilling time. His passing was a great loss for me, for your family, and for the world.

He was a rare and wonderful person. We all miss him

Sorry to see you go

I just heard about Doug's sudden death last year today, from an NPR item about an old friend trying to find out where he was buried in Palo Alto.

I can't express how sad this new has made me today. I worked with Doug at Rolm Systems, and we would occasionally run into each other since then at the Starbucks in Palo Alto, on Colorado Ave. He always had an abundance of projects going on any time we had a chance to chat, and I always left our impromptu meetings with a smile on my face...

Dear Betsy and sons, I have been in Afghanistan and just heard of Doug's passing. I grew concerned because he had not been answering my numerous emails. I have a huge empty hole in my heart today - Doug became one of my best friends and I could talk to him about anything. I will miss him dearly, and I pray that your family heals from this tragic loss.

Dear Betsy and sons, I just learned about Doug's passing and am so sad. I worked with Doug at ROLM/IBM back in the 80s. We worked very closely for a four-year period. He was a mentor, friend, and a genuinely kind person. He always spoke about his family. What a great man he was! My prayers are with you all.
