Sorry to be out of town when I learned of Fran's passing. We go back to Sister Lakes, Quigley South and, after many years, we met again at the Fountain Hills Golf Course where he was a starter. It was like piucking up where we left off.

Fran's family and mine grew up together, connectedby Sister Lakes and too many memories to count.

Farewell, old friend.
