May the family be comforted in the greatness and the good deeds of their husband, father, father in law and grandfather. He always had a good word, a smile and a positive attitude.
Our hearts go out to you all on this great loss.

Rabbi Francis was and will be forever known as the man who always had a smile on his face. He always had the words that touched your soul that pierced through our hearts as true.
I can only imagine he has gone straight to gan Eden to be by his creater watching over us and his beautiful family
May hashem bless the Francis family with only simchas and happiness

“הַמָּקוֹם יְנַחֵם אֶתְכֶם בְּתוֹךְ שְׁאָר אֲבֵלֵי צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלָיִם”

We are shocked at hearing the terrible news. We’ve known Rabbi Francis for years and years, & he was a great man.
