What truly sad news even though it was not totally unexpected and I did hope that his strong spirit and determination would get him through this terrible illness. But it was not to be.

I never met Fran or his wife Marg but from his postings and personal emails we have exchanged over time, he came across as a really genuine nice guy who was obviously totally devoted to Marg.

My condolences go out to Marg at this time. I am sure that she has so many many happy memories of the years they have spent together and I hope that she can take some small consolation from this at this very very sad time............Joan
