Francis was a gentle, devoted husband, father, grandpa, brother, and friend. Francis’s devotion to his wife of 67 years, children, grandchildren and his Catholic Faith are commendable. Francis’s warmth and caring nature shined brightly on his own loved ones. Even in his final hours, Francis retained his sense of humor and gratitude until the end. If he were here today, he would tell you all “thanks for coming, thanks for everything.”
Francis proudly served his country during the Korean War. He was a member of the VFW 2210, American Legion 150, Knights of Columbus 1037, CMA of St. Mary and served on the Sacred Heart Church Cemetery committee.
The family would like to thank The Arbors at Parkwood Meadows Assisted Living staff for their very compassionate and professional care.
