    Dear Audrey and Annette,I was so sorry to read of the sudden loss of Fran. Tho I only knew him for a year he made an impression on me. He wasn’t afraid to speak out loudly and clearly. He had the courage of his convictions. Audrey and Annette you were a witness to me of love and devotion. God Bless you and ease your hurt.

    Franny & Jimmy would pick up us boys at about 7:30a. We spent the entire day delivering Jupiter circulars. Then he’d take us to Shakeys for pizza & we each got between $12 & $14. We thought it was big bucks then. He was a great guy! My condolences to the whole family.

    I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Franny. My dad, (Jerry) and he played cards together for years, and they were true friends. I remember Mr. Grenier at daily mass when I attended St Annes as well. I was in class with Annette, and spent time at your house when I was a kid. May God bless your family.
