So sad to hear of Frank’s death. He was one of my favorite people. We have shared some good times. Vaughn and I will see you at the service tomorrow. Let me know if I can do anything!
My prayers are with all of you. Sorry I will not be able to attend the service. Will continue to remember you in the coming weeks.

I am not sure that Francis is the same person I knew in Aiken,South Carolina at the Savannah River nuclear plant working for E.I. DuPont.The Francis I knew was a graduate of the University of N.C.
I have great memories of the time I knew this man though it has been more than fifty years since we worked together. He was a great guy and I feel for his suvivors.
Tom,
I’m very sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing. My thoughts are with you and your family.
