" Energy Star "
There always was an energy,
where ever you seemed to be.
In your daily walk of life,
at work or at liberty.
A living star all burning bright,
in the day, sometimes at night,
You cast your spell upon the light,
that shines on many as you take the
flight,
To the stars of memories of sight.
Godspeed

Dear Ruth,
I am so surprised to read of Fran's death we spoke on Wednesday and he seemed to be well. I will not be able to attend the memorial service, however know that you are in my prayers.

I am sorry I will be unable to attend Fran's funeral on Sunday due to a prior commitment. I met Fran through the Retired Teachers' Assoc. and loved talking to him about the North Country as I am originally from Watertown. He was a true gentleman, and I am going to miss him terribly.
