Today marks the one year anniversary of the unexpected death of sweet Francis. My love for him continues and I have held him close in my heart and mind, and have missed him, each and every day. He is well remembered and loved by those who knew him, his family, friends, and colleagues. There will always be a light in our lives as we remember the wonderful person Francis was, and think of the fabulous and unique angel he is in heaven. Much, much love to you, my Francis, my one and only loved one.

Eleven months today we lost sweet Francis. My heart still aches for him in so many ways. As the anniversary of his death nears, I continue to love him so much and miss him every minute of every day. I feel him with me, and that gives me strength.

Today marks six months since you left this earth. I still love and miss you so. You were so very exceptional, my love, and with the days that pass, I know it more and more. There is no one like you...never has been and never will be. I hold you close in my heart, mind, and spirit, and I love you so much! Thank you, once again, for loving me and making me yours. Your loved one, Ronda

I have been thinking all week about sweet Francis' birthday this past Monday, May 8. He would have been 57. We would have celebrated the day, as he did each day of his life, and gone to dinner at a place with great food that he had found. I celebrated this day with him in my mind and heart. Whenever I make a decision, my thoughts turn to him. He was such a special man and I loved him so. He had such a mischievous, infectious laugh and unique personality. There will never be another one like Francis! Happy birthday, my loved one!

Today marks three months since the death of my most sweet Francis. I still can't believe you are gone from this earth. I want to hold your hand and get ready for the lovely sunshine of spring. I love you and miss you so much every moment of every day. You are the love of my life. I miss you with all my heart. You are still alive in me.

Today marks one month since your journey to heaven. I am still loving you and missing you so much, Kiwi! I wish I could go out to dinner with you and watch as you ordered the most scrumptious food for us both. Of course, you would make up special bites of different combinations for me. You exposed me to so much that I had never viewed before. I look at life differently because you lived, and because you loved me. I am so much richer to have had you in my life. Thanks so much for all you taught me, for all we shared, and for a tremendous, most fabulous, truly incredible love.

Francis was my Uncle and my Godfather...he would call me his favorite Goddaughter, needless to say, I was the only one he had! I will miss our long chats on the phone and his countless sayings....What a character he was!

When he was in Sydney in 2000 he spent a lot of time with us, just happy joining in with whatever we were doing, provided he got a good nights kip(sleep), of course. I'll miss my "drummer who walks to a different beat" who was often caught in the act of being himself...God love him, as I do. Nicolla

Met you briefly whilst on a visit to your sister Judy and niece Nicola. Your manner was impeccable and your wit amazing and I enjoyed your brief visit. My deepest sympathy to both Judy and Nicola who I know will miss you.

Goodbye, cousin Francis. God broke the mould after He made you. You always did things your way and brought a little bit of laughter into everyone's lives. You will be sadly missed by all of your family.

Although there was a big gap in years, my brother Francis and I had a strong bond - and my family and I will miss him dreadfully. He always kept in touch with his niece and nephews which they appreciated. Love you Francy, now I can't make you any more pots. Margaret and John and family.

I met Francis in the late 70's and he was a whirlwind. He was so full of energy and delightful to be around. My thoughts are with his family and friends. Sincerely, Martha Jennings

I have known the "Kiwi" since 1970. He was a 'rugger' in all that the term connotes - raw-boned, rugged, feisty, quick-tempered, and die-hard. He played life like his beloved rugby game, except that he occasionally forgot the team spirit and had to have his way... He was tender - never saw any body better with horses, dogs or children. Most of all, he was fiercely true. His friends meant everything to him and he was as pugnatiously loyal in their defense as he was in his support of them, even to the least among us. For several months, he quietly paid the rent of a bus-boy with whom he worked. If he gave you a gift, it was 'the best' of whatever it was, even if it put a serious dent in his finances. Nothing was too good for ones he loved. He lived his life like a carefree 'bon vivant', and he didn't know the meaning of 'risky'. Contrary to his 'bad boy' image, most of us who knew him saw an ironically deeply spiritual side to Francis as well. He was on terms with the Lord and lately, pretty good ones. This time of the year, the terms are that the favorites come home-and Kiwi did. God loved ya, Kiwi. So did we.

Remembering Kiwi I recall a friend of many years who was bigger than life itself, a friend from whom I learned the thrill of taking chances. Though now gone from this earth, his spirit and zest for living will continue to inspire those of us who were born a bit more timid.

Francis was greatly loved. He was such a loving, bright, witty man who cared for his friends and family above all else. There is no one like him and never will be. Francis is one of a kind, a rare treasure, gift from God to this world! He will be greatly missed.

Francis was my baby brother but taught me heaps, especially how to live life to the fullest and to enjoy the very best. He loved looking good and telling everyone I was 10 years older, I WASN'T, thanks Francis, for the insults and the great fun and laughter.

Kiwi was quite a character. A member of a great group of bar people in our day. Here's looking at you Kiwi.

To Kiwi`s family. I knew Francis for many years through our paths crossing in the resturant business. He always gave me either a miscievious, or a warm"good to see you" smile! I was glad to see him because of that fraternal clan of Bar People that a few of us still remember when in was a very tight community in Washington. I will miss him! Yours Truly, "BIG RODNEY" HAYDEN
