What a courageous man, husband, father & friend. Fran battled with his cancer for 10 years and he put up such a hard fight but in the end he deserves to be at peace. Fran underwent countless chemotherapy and radiation treatments, experimental trials, a stem cell transplant and a bone marrow transplant. No one could have asked more of him. Fran lost his battled on Jan, 9, 2012 at home surrounded by his girls. It was peaceful which is the way he wanted it to be. He is always on our minds and forever in our hearts.
