Edward J. De Franco Sr. Ph.D.

So proud to have worked with such an intelligent man. I have and will never forget him and his family.

Ed was my field instructor at the Division of Probation when I was a social work student at SUNYA. He was a gentleman and a scholar and I will always remember him for his soft spoken ways, his intelligence, and his caring manner. Whenever we met at colleagues over the years he was always interested in how my career was going. I remember him with great fondness.

To the De Franco Family: On behalf of the entire Dempf family, we express our most sincere condolences for your loss. Prayers and thoughts are with you all during this very difficult time. What an amazing man. So incredibly accomplished. His love and passion for life long learning that was carried on to his children and grandchildren is such a beautiful testament to the man he was. You are all in our prayers and thoughts. Kindly and with love, Stephanie Dempf Sullivan and the entire Dempf...

The De Franco Family:

God bless you all.

Dear Angela,
I was so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. He was a gentle soul that I was fortunate to have known. When I played bridge at the Jewish Community Center, I was always happy when my opponent was Ed. No matter how I played, he always had an encouraging word. His smile and warmth truly made for a better situation. His wonderful personality will be missed. He will always have a soft spot in my heart.
My thoughts and good wishes are with you, Angela, and your family. What...
