Dear Loraine, Sue, Chip, Chris, Anne, John and families,
My sincere condolences. I am sorry and sad. Frank was a Renaissance man, he lived the good life. He loved you Loraine from the moment he saw you. He adored his very accomplished children and grands. His heart was broken when Chuck died and a piece of his heart was buried with Chuck but he helped all of you find peace of heart and mind. He was a man of tremendous faith in God and it showed in everything he did. He was a brilliant...

I wish to convey my deepest condolences to the entire Dufault family on the passing of a wonderful caring doctor to both his patients and the staff who worked with him and beside him. He was especially kind and considerate of me and my fellow nurses. This was evidenced during the recent past when I visited The Willows, where he and his wife were residing in their retirement years. While our group was touring the facility, we encountered this wonderful couple and Dr. Dufault immediately...

A guiding light for Medical students, residents and Medical faculty. Truly a giant in the Worcester Medical community. Dr. Default will be always remembered and missed.

So sorry for your loss. I was one of the nurses who was lucky to have cared for his son Chuck when he was ill. I remember what wonderful caring parents he had. Dr.Dufault always asked how are day was going and had such a happy spirit about him. Chuck loved his father very much. May they rest in peace together. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Frank was a consummate gentleman, physician, and professor.
But most of all he treasured his family.
I enjoyed working with him at Hahnemann Hospital.. He was truly Dr. Hahnemann. He helped train hundreds of resident physicians in the too infrequent art of humanism.
I will miss him.

To the Dufault family ... we are saddened to learn of Francis' passing. May his memory be eternal!

The Tembenis family (your former neighbors on Highland Street)

Dear Lorraine,
We are shocked and saddened to lose Frank, a dear friend and fine man;also that we are so far away and not able to attend his service or be there to comfort you and your family, all who are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mrs. Dufault and family,

I began working for Dr. Dufault, in March of 1987 at his office on 328 Highland Street when it was Adult Care Physicians, then moving to the Hahnemann Campus in 1995. I was always proud to tell people I worked for Dr. Dufault as he was such a kind spirited, gentle man. I will miss that familiar voice of him saying hello when he would stop by the office at 1 West Boylston Street with Loraine for a visit. It was a privilege having known such a wonderful...
