Deepest sympathy to the Mathison Family ! Francis was a dear friend of my late husband, their friendship started in at vocational school in the 1960´s and continued until Roger´s passing. Such good memories of Francis and Judy!
Rest in Peace

Frank was my boss back in 1979 when I worked at Rau Oil. He was a great guy, with his ever present smile and sense of humor. I loved working with him. I have run into him a few times over the years and he always remembered me and was always the same smiling, friendly guy. My deepest sympathy to his family. He may be physically gone, but he will always be remembered so very fondly.

I had the pleasure of working part-time for Frank at Rau Oil
In LaCrosse! One of his tasks was being a dispatcher of trucks!
I drove a tanker to Madison and back with a load of gasoline or diesel fuel! Frank was not only directing where the loads went,
but, was a good man to work for and a friend!
God bless you Frank!
