Sandy, Billy and Families, my condolences, and thoughts of your Dad will never end, what a man never said no when any, church, Little league, football, needed help, his kind heart would do an Auction for them, your Dad was one of my best friends, and my sons also, I called and told him and his reply was silence, he meant a lot to Mark, and you kids also. They say only the good die young, but this is one, keep on going, he was the BEST that's why he made 85. You and your families have a lot to remember, he was always their with his help and his love, and you were always their for him, he was so proud of you both, I always looked up to him as a true friend.

Sandy I`m so very sorry about the passing of your dad. I have such good memories of him from when we were cheerleaders for Stafford Olympics. Remembering when he would drive us around to the games in the Auction truck. He was so funny and we all had a great time. Peace to you and your family.

Sandie and entire Family,
We are so saddened by the passing of Francis. He was a wonderful man and one who would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. We loved visiting Francis and sharing stories from the past. While we never knew Francis until we started going to his auctions many years ago, we really got to know him, and became very good friends. He was so proud of his restoring job he did on his old antique car. A great man who could do so many things and was a very hard worker, he will be greatly missed, but never be forgotten. By the way, he was the best auctioneer in the State of Connecticut and he filled the old barn every Monday night and always added a sense of humor to a special evening. He often spoke of his love for Sandie and Billy and you can alway cherish the wonderful memories to help you through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest in Peace, Francis and if there is a heaven, you'll be in the front row.
Love, Pat & Gregg Brooks

Sandie,
I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was always so sweet to us kids. I enjoyed helping him tear down barns with my sister, feed the donkey after school, and even help clean out some estates. He showed us kids what it meant to be a hard worker and I know that has left an impact on my sister. She adored him and I know she wished she saw him more in the recent years. He will not be forgotten. Greatest sympathy
