Mr. Francis truly cared about his kids. I recall him being very involved in the daily activities while serving as principal in Boyce, LA.
He would occasionally visit parents at their homes which displayed the amazing relationship he had with us all.
Thank you Mr. Francis for caring about us academically as well as our home life.
And thank YOU to his family for sharing him with his students. We are far better off because of him.

We were so sorry to hear about Mr. Fransis' passing. He gave me my first teaching job at Poland Jr. High in 1988. He was always supportive and loved the students. I will always have fond memories of him.

Murray Jean and Family. Please accept our prayers for you in this difficult time. I wish that people had known John like I had known him. I owe him a lot. He was responsible for getting me back to school to finish my degree and he even helped me get school paid for via Louisiana Vocational-Rehabilitation. I KNOW John lived to help people and did so many things for others that most people have no idea about. There's a lot about "Coach" that will be missed....by me and by many. Privileged...no,...
