Francis Richard Shottes

We all will forever miss your laugh, the times shared at the lake. Mostley I want to thank you Dad for the donkey rides,the tubing rides. Mostly I want to thank you for my sisters,Thelma,Debra,Karen,Andrea, Nancy and Jennifer,brothers Michael and Eric. We really did have some good times. There'll be no teeth gone!!! My children as well as your other grandchildren will also miss you. Just know Dad, you were loved by many,and you were our creator of this motley crew. Love you forever

I am extremely thankful for the gifts my father gave me, most precious are my 6 sisters (Thelma, Karen, Susan, Andrea & Jennifer) & 2 brothers (Michael & Eric), there is no greater gift than a loving family, the children my father created. Out of that blossomed so many more family members, and that will continue to grow into my father's legacy. My father worked so very hard in being all he could be. He taught us all the value of knowledge through doing it on our own, he was a self-made man...

I pray this family will beable to find comfort in the love of each other; regaurdless of life's diversities we all had one major thing in common. we all loved the man called husband, father, friend. thank you judy for loving my dad. to Beth thank you for your children, I know they gave Dad great joy. I love you all and if you need me or anything just contact us I know your pain and the confution this loss brings but will never know how you feel,that will forever be personal. Perhaps one day...

We cannot express how sad we feel on Fran's passing. Fran was one of a kind. A special man in so many ways. We will miss him and his endearing friendship. Our prayers, condolences and thoughts are with Judy and the family. God Bless.

He was a great guy and good friend.
