You'll be with us through every inning and always

Hey, Francis! The Royals won the AL pennant and made it to the World Series! Here's what a couple of friends wrote about you and the Royals soon after we lost you:

"Hey, man. We miss your presence here. I could really use a reality check about the Royals right now, and I don't know who better to dish it out. See you in a while, brother." --Eric Sherman

"Hey, Franky, I was just thinking about the time in the Korengal when you were talking about sitting on the other ridge with a KC ball hat listening to your ipod." --Tom Eineke

You'll be with us through every inning of the World Series, and always. With love from Mom & Dad, Erin & Alex, and all who knew you.
