Francis was a great friend and mentor to many of us who knew him at Westinghouse and beyond. We enjoyed occasional visits to him up into his 90's and were heartened by his sharp intellect and love for life observed during those visits. We enjoyed viewing his "archives" in his garage, being treated to his piano "recitals," and reading his hand-written Christmas messages. He'll be missed by many. Our sincerest condolences to his family.
