We would like to express our deepest sympathy to Anne and the family. Dennis remembers doing a cut-off in Enchant in 1967 - which would have been the time Francis took over the elevator. It was in November as our son was born on Nov. 15, 1967. Many years ago!!!!! Thinking of all of the family and sending our prayers and concern.
My deepest condolences to your family. I had the privilege of knowing Francis as he visited my workplace (Radiology Associates). I will miss his smile, humour. and fun-loving nature. I am truly sorry for your loss. He will not be forgotten.
Your North Idaho friends send love and prayers for all the Francis Hanson family
Sending our love, hugs and prayers to Anne and her family. Francis was a very special person. So glad he became dad's best friend during the last few years.
