Francois was a dear friend. A kind and talented man. We worked together in the art world in Washington DC for several fun years. Stayed in touch through monthly phone conversations through the years and I was thrilled when he organized my first solo museum exhibit in the Taubman museum in Roanoke. I will miss him but remember him fondly
