Fran was my friend and mentor for over 50 years. He touched many lives in a positive way, including mine. He was a pioneer in effective law enforcement and was respected as a leader throughout the country. He will always be remembered for his honest and caring ways. His dignity and loyalty were above reproach. When Fran enters the Kingdom of Heaven I am sure our Lord will say, "Welcome, Fran. Job well done."
