Francis C. Lapointe

It's been over a year since Frank's passing (around the MLK holiday) and I continue to appreciate what he has meant to me not just from his broad knowledge/background in cinema to his overall outlook on life and its varied facets. Of course, he will always be dearly remembered and never forgotten and is a part of my thoughts from time to time. I always thanked him and beloved spouse Adele for being able to be a consistent contributor to their website "Projections."

Francis was a great men. Really sorry for his loss.

I want to express my deepest sympathy and condolences for the loss of your husband. I understand the pain that you are feeling. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I´m so deeply saddened by Frank´s passing. It was a great privilege to review movies with him the last 12 years. I´ll always be grateful for the opportunity to write for Projections. Rest in peace my friend. My Sincerest Condolences to his family and friends... God bless Frank now and forever.

I had the pleasure of working with Frank Lapointe at the Springfield Liberty Street office of the Dept of Transitional Assistance. He was a wonderful man and I appreciate the knowledge and guidance he gave me when I came to Springfield after the Chicopee office closed. As an Asst Director in the office he truly cared about his job, the maintenance of the office and the people he worked with. My heartfelt condolences go out to Adele, Audrey and David and his entire family. Rest In Peace...

had him as a teacher at Van Sickle in the late 60's, good man, good communicator, RIP Mr. Lapointe

Adele, David and Audrie, I was so sad to see this. My heart goes out to you. Frank was like a dad to me. He took me under his wing when I started working at the Springfield Welfare office, always giving me guidance and respect. I couldn't have asked for a better boss. He always made time for me, and when my girls became interested in writing for the Springfield Newspaper and getting involved in politics, he was right there giving them the guidance and advice they needed. A very special man...

I am so sorry to read about this great Chicopee man's passing. I remember him from when I was in Cub Scouts and he prepared us scouts in progressing to Boy Scouts at his home in Chicopee. We did not know much about politics way back then but his very long obituary certainly speaks for his concerns about society. He was a really decent man and Chicopee should be very proud.

So very sorry for your loss, Mr. Lapointe was my science teacher many years ago when I went to Van Sickle Jr High School. God Bless his family at this time. Mr. Lapointe was a great teacher may he rest in peace.
