Fran was so many things to many people: father, husband, brother, son, friend, boss, mentor, joker, golfer. Many people in some of these roles ask is it better to be loved or feared? While he probably would have answered "fear" through a funny grin, Fran selflessly instilled both of these emotions at different times as needed. That's why Fran will always have our respect. He cared about other people and worked hard to make sure it showed through his actions and words, even through his hardest personal times. We will always have his example to look up to, showing us how to fight all the way! Love you Fran! Will never forget you and everything you did for all of us! We'll all do our best to make you proud, as we know you were already so proud of Jess, Shilo, Erin and Sandy!
