Dear Aunt Mary, Arnold, Robert, Sherry, Ronald & Larry, I will miss Uncle Francis but will carry his memory,kindness and gentle spirit for ever. You could count on Uncle Francis to lighten up the mood in the room, we always enjoyed our visits and card games with him, his subtle banter always provided a chuckle. Uncle Francis had a keen interest in technology, I will miss his emails and stories. He was a great source of family history and after my father passed I was thankful for our time together. The lessons and wise words we learn from our parents survive long after they pass.

Sherry and Arnie,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your amazing dad. I only have email addresses for you two, so please convey our sympathy to your family, and of course to your mom also.
Your dad and my dad were not only first cousins who grew up together, but also close friends. I enjoyed maintaining the family connection and friendship with your dad, and I'm so sorry that covid robbed us of the opportunity to visit during the last couple of years.
Life without your dad will be a tough adjustment, especially for your mom. Sherry, being the closest, you have been a tremendous support for your folks, and now your mom will need even more love and assistance. She's lucky to have a devoted and loving family that is there for her. We're thinking of you.
Hugs to all!
Ross and Cathy Burgar

I was so saddened to hear that Francis has passed. He was an incredible person, whom I’m so fortunate to have gotten to know.
He was so proud of his family, and devoted completely to Mary. We shared many conversations throughout the years as we were from the same area.
He will certainly be missed! My heart goes out to Mary and their families.

My Dad was an incredible man. Over the years he gave me the precious gifts of his love, guidance, support, and strength. Life is different without him, but I am grateful I got to call him my Dad. I will think of him every day and smile.
"The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much." by Robert Louis Stevenson
That is a perfect description of Dad. I will miss him terribly but will always hold a special place in my heart for him.
Love always
Sherry
