Hugs to you, Cori. I am so sorry for your loss but I know that you have wonderful memories of your lives together.

Sabrina R. Loveless on Feb 14, 2013

Fran, you showed the world to me through your heart. I am so broken-hearted that I didn't get to talk to you. I didn't know you were sick. Thank you so much to Adam & Brian for letting me know you took another travel, but this was to the best place you could've ever gone. God Bless your family & friends. I will never forget you and the times we spent together. I'm glad you're not in pain anymore. I'm so sorry you went through all of that and I wasn't there to help. I don't want to say Goodbye because I will see you again. I will love you with my being forever.
Sabrina <3

Today was the day we all said good-bye to Fran. I miss him already - every day, in fact.........seems many others feel the same way. I really Iooked forward to many more memories to be made in the future, but those will never happen. It makes me appreciate the ones I have even more! You will always live on in my thoughts - Rest in Peace, My Friend.

I made a mistake not getting to know Fran better. A very cool guy but even more kind and generous.

Caryl P Robinson on Feb 8, 2013

Heartfelt condolences to Fran's family, including of course all his wonderful friends and most especially Cori. What a battle you waged! Fran was one of the first people to show me welcoming kindness when I first moved here from Omaha NE. He will be sorely missed.

Lori & Ruth Babcock on Feb 7, 2013

We are so sorry for the loss. Fran was a sweet, kind and gentle soul. Cori, you were an amazing life partner through all the ugliness that wretched diease dishes up. We love you and want to hug you. Fran will be missed.

Mary Robinson on Feb 6, 2013

Cori, my thoughts are with you and that of Fran's family. I didn't know him well, but saw how great a guy he was through you.

Laura Walker and Anna Padia on Feb 5, 2013

We were so happy to meet Fran and get to know him a little while he was in better health. And it was so clear why Cori and Fran had found each other and were life partners. Though we didn't have the opportunity to know him better, he made a powerful impact: he was such a gentle soul, smart, funny, caring. He will be missed. Our hearts go out to his family and friends. We hold a special loving place for Cori.

Matt and Carol Walton on Feb 5, 2013

Fran, always the wanderer, but never lost! So many great memories of adventures in Germany/Europe, each with it's own Frannie story. You'll be sorely missed, but never forgotten.
Cori, you have shown all of us what love in sickness and health truly looks like. Fran was a very blessed man. Praying for comfort and strength for you. You will remain in our prayers!

Noreen Byron on Feb 5, 2013

To Fran's family and Cori my deepest condolences, God Bless you for being there for Fran.
I wish I could have spoken to him once more.. I will miss him, our adventures, his easygoing and sometime infruriating nature, lol, God Bless him on his new adventures. We are all better people for knowing his gentle soul. Love Noreen

I'll always admire Fran for his easy-going attitude, travels around the world, ability to make friends... and have fond memories of our motorcycle rides together.
