So very sad to hear of Franco's passing. Franco was, beyond all else, a good man. Kind and gentle. Franco was quick to offer a helping hand when I needed help and always thoughtful of others. Franco and Christina were fortunate to have Franco as a guiding light. You will be greatly missed. . .
My thoughts are with you all. . .
