Francis Akos

He's was a great man and a great violin composer

Cherished memories are yours to keep. God cares how we feel when we lose someone close to our heart and provides the peace needed to comfort your family during this time. Sincere sympathies -Ps 25:16,17;Rom 15:33

My mother and I will miss seeing Francis at Jones-Harrison, where he was always ready with a sweet smile and kind words. Such a lovely gentleman. Being from Chicago ourselves and my mother and father having frequented the Symphony Orchestra during his tenure, we found it interesting to cross his path in Minneapolis. Our condolences to his family.

I studied with Mr. Akos while I was in the Civic Orchestra for a period of time. He was a great teacher and violinist. I was very fortunate to have had an opportunity to study with him.

I am sorry to hear of Francis's passing. My father Frank Crisafulli was a colleague of Francis for many years and I believe rode down to Orchestra Hall with Francis on a number of occasions. Some years after Frank's passing, I remember running into Francis and Mrs. Akos at Le Peep and exchanging nice memories with them. A very lovely couple to say the least.

Sincerely,
Mike Crisafulli

We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to help us. Sincere sympathies
