Francis was a great friend and a loving person. He snuck a peek of the ring to me before he proposed to Deborah. He was so proud ! Walt and Agna

So sorry to learn of Francis' passing. Always enjoyed catching up with him at each New Year's gathering at Margaret & Walt's in Baton Rouge. Remembering the years when he loved to talk about riding his motorcycle. And earlier years, boasting about his fireworks. His eyes would literally light up! Rest in peace, Francis. My thoughts and prayers are with you Deborah, Lesley, Sean, the grandchildren and all family and friends. Vickie

Francis is my second cousin. We always kept in touch but after Renee died we spoke daily. When he met Deborah they invited me to the dances at St Lukes and i met my husband there. We kept in touch and i last saw him at Deborah mothers funeral. I love you my sweet cousin and will miss you. Because of Covid and to protect my dad we will all be attending virtually.
