Condolence: I worked with Frannie at the old Olin Brass Mill in New Haven from 1971 until it closed in 1979. Frannie was a great guy to work with, he was very reasonable and helped in every way he could. Things can get very unpleasant in the environment that exists in a big, noisy, hot, dirty plant like that one was, and even under the worst conditions, it seemed like Frannie always had a grin trying to break through. I hadn't seen him since the mill closed, but am saddened by his passing. I was surprised to learn he had been a constable in Oxford, since I had probably been a source of annoyance to most of the constables there (due to my adolescent driving habits, long gone now).

Condolence: I am sorry I can not make the services, I have to work unfortunately.

I have many many memories of Uncle Frannie, as I do of Uncles Johnny, Richard and Billy, and Aunt Doris and too many to mention of Gramma. I send my condolences and my prayers. He was a good man, funny as all get out. Great sense of humor and those sparkly eyes of his, Mr. Mischief ha ha!. those days are sadly missed for sure, all the visits with my dad (and my mom) to all their houses. Now he is with Most of them, having fun enjoying their company, catching up on things. He is in a better place while we are here saddened by his loss. Too bad we can't turn back time.
Please accept my prayers and my condolences. I will be thinking of you all!

Love
Ruth Anne & family

ps. Uncle Franny give daddy and gramma a big hug from me, I miss them lots!!
