Fran will be missed by all those that were blessed to know him. He was a quiet guy but always had a smile. Fridays will never be the same for Tom and Carmen but he will be mentioned when they get together.

I will always have many fond memories from growing up and our family summer picnics and his barbeques. Those were the best of times.
