Not sure what to say?





Sorry to hear of your loss. Frenchie was a great guy. I worked with him at the Central Wisconsin Environmental Station in the late 70s. He was fun and could do anything needed to keep the place running. Once while fixing the furnace he saw that a whole room of school kids didn't have a teacher and were getting out of hand so he entertained them for a half hour with magic tricks that we never knew he did!He was a bright light for us in those days.

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Frenchie when he was one of my respiratory patients at St. Michael's and we exchanged alot of navy stories. I am glad I had the short time to know.
