Dear Francisco family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny with Paul and Wilma while working at SRS many years ago. They were so kind and genuine all three of them that I always held them in my mind fondly. Then while working for the county appraiser's office and measuring houses, I knocked on a door and who answers from Jim. He was so kind and inviting even asking me to come in and asked me to sit down and rest and have a cup of coffee. While we didn't talk very long, I remember...

Jim and His brother Kenny were good to me and those I took to Topeka often. They allowed them to page and many had a great time learning about the way things are done in the House and in the Senate of Kansas. All of the kids I took did grow up to be great and do great things and Jim was a huge part of their experience he was a truly good guy!

Julia and family, my heart is heavy after seeing the news tonight. Jim was always the bright spot in the office where his laughter was constant. He was a good man that cared so much about everyone he knew. I am so sorry for your loss.

Max & I cherished the Fransciscos, as neighbors in Topeka and as traveling companions. I have many fond memories of our time together. Max passed in Apr. 2017. I'm hoping he and Jim are having a reunion NOW in the Beyond. I'm grieving, and am thinking of you at this difficult time, Julia.

Julia, Jim was such a great man...Doug thought the world of him. I lost Doug October 2012 to cancer, so I think there will be a big party in heaven. RIP Jim...

Brenda, Jimmy, Debbie, Jerry and other family members, I am sorry for your loss. I have such wonderful memories of us all growing up together on N. First Street. Our doors were never locked and we would always just come and go into each other's houses! I pray you all can find strength and comfort in your journey of loss. It sounds like you were all able to be with your Dad at the end. I'm am sure this was of great comfort to him. Hugs, Carlene (Howard) Mansfield
