Robert Francom Obituary
Belt —Robert William Francom, age 59, passed away at Benefis Hospital on Tuesday, September 16th. Bob was born in Great Falls, Montana on October 10, 1954.

In 1980 Bob was awarded the honor of Sports Broadcaster of the Year in Wyoming. After leaving the broadcasting business, Bob worked for several motel chains as a night auditor, most recently at the Heritage Inn in Great Falls until his health forced his retirement.
