Francis Edgar Burke

Fran was a wonderful man, who always wanted to visit Fran was thoughtful, kind, and generous. One story. When his daughter Gina and traveled thru Europe together after graduating from college I left my car at Helen and Fran's home. Fran insisted it be put in their garage for the 31/2 months we were traveling. Unnecessary but appreciated. Fran, be with Jesus now forever.

Dear Rory and family,
Please accept my sympathies on the passing of your Dad, and Mom recently, as well. What long and fulfilling lives they had together! I will miss visiting with them both. Having been neighbors for so many years, both our families growing up in Petaluma, going to St. Vincents, it is so sad to see them pass on, as it was with my dad Corky already over 2 years now at almost 101 years, and mom Dolores long before that.
It was so nice for Chris and I to see Helen and Fran at the Clover Christmas party every year until recently, and again when you invited Dad and I to ride with Fran in your Army truck in the Veteran's Day parades, thank you so much for that! Dad really enjoyed himself and I have some great pictures to remember that all.
With love and regards to you and all your family,
Roxy Cordoza Bacher

We are in the book, so do look us up if you'd ever like to chat.

I was blessed to have moved next door to Fran and Helen. They were such great neighbors and so kind. I was the benefactor of getting some of Helen's biscotti, and Fran's insights on any football game. He would also help me with my gardening through astute observations. I always enjoyed hearing their stories, and the his passionate discussions on multiple subjects. I would trade plums, figs, and pears for biscotti and oranges.

Rest in peace and may god bless you Francis, you were a good man.

To the family of Fran and Helen,

Claudia and I always enjoyed seeing Fran and Helen when they visited Mike and Sherril in Billings. Fran's sports stories and Helen's cooking was a winning combination! Fun times and good memories we will cherish when we think of your parents.

God Bless,
