I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. I worked with fran many years at better packages in Shelton. We learned a lot together he help me with the tape machines and I helped him with the computers . My ex husband was David McEnerney he was in charge of shipping David passed in 2009. We were all a good group of people years ago working together at one time. Helping each other when need. Had great picnics and Christmas parties at rapps in ansonia. May you rip Fran I'm sure you and Dave have a lot to talk about up there.
