My Father in Law & Francis were room mates at Peaceful Rest Home Cochranton. This was the happiest my Father in Law had been in while in nursing homes. I also enjoyed the visits with Dick when Francis was in the room. Whenever I saw him Francis was always in good humor. He told us one day that his son had let him sit on the tractor, and it could be seen that that was a very good memory. Francis will be remembered as well as missed.
Cheryl and Francis and families,
We are sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. Another of the “greatest generation” you have had the opportunity to learn from. Your lives forever enriched. Now we are the generation…you two are of good stock. Warmly, Gary and Diane Gordon
Our hearts go out to you. I know that he will always be with you. They pop up at the most unexpected times. God sure gave us a gift when he gave us memories.
We are sorry to see the loss of your father a long time neighbor to us. You have our sympathy. Maxine and Jim
Please accept our deepest sympathy. May those precious memories be foremost in your hearts and minds during this difficult time.
( Isaiah 25:8)
