My heart goes out to the Grenier family. Frank was a wonderful man, I was always welcomed by him when I visited Dan and Betsy. May he rest in peace.

To Carl, and the entire Grenier family:
Fran and I worked side by side for many years. We took every opportunity to work together we could possibly could. When I left the Molding department and began a new career in Printing, Fran was one of my Mentors. He wasn't "just" a Master Printer. He kept us in stitches through an entire 12 hour shift, while out-producing almost every other shift that was running the same job. From the old WIFAG's and thermal print lines, to the newer 6 color machines, he was a team player who's work was ALWAYS top notch. He wasn't just a co-worker. He was friend and family to everyone he worked with. Sometimes, after a long 12 hr. night shift, he'd join us at Nashawanuck Pond for trout fishing, and we'd grill our catch for breakfast with an ice cold beer. Good Times!!!
Fran,
I will NEVER forget you. You were like a brother of mine for many, many years, and this one hurts more than almost any other.
God's Speed, my old friend.
