Hi Jeff, My name's also Francis and I am the Prudential Claims Rep that you spoke with along your mother Constance when you reported the claim. I read your father's obituary and was amazed as to how may things a person can do, also how many lives a single individual can touch. I didn't knew him personally but I can say your father was a great man. I hope I was of help to your family in this time of need. Know that you and your family will be in my prayers. God Bless.
Christy and Connie...Very sad to read of the passing of your dad. I'm one of those thousands of Alliance kids that your dad had taught to swim. I loved walking up to Regina Coeli and hearing him proclaim,"Welcome to the 4:00 mass!"
May he rest in peace.
So very dsorry for your loss David .. My deepest sympathy to you and your family .. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers .. Remember ... Fathers are forever and that death ends a life .. not a relationship .. God Bless you and yours ..

Connie, sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Wow, 97 years old. What great things he accomplished throughout those many years. Please extend my sympathy to your siblings. Bonita Burson Graboski
My condolences to the family. I have many fond memories. Rest peacefully.
My sincere condolences to the family of Francis Peters. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in God's promise to soon swallow up death forever" and "wipe away the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy,
I am so saddened by the passing of Francie. I met him about 55 years ago when I was about 13 through his brother Robert “Pete” Peters. Pete was our scoutmaster of Troop 53 and also a Red Cross water safety instructor. Pete taught me to swim. After a few years when I became a Red Cross water safety aide and later a water safety instruction I helped Francie teach at LaNave’s on E. State Street.
A saying I heard many times from Pete, author unknown, was “The price we pay for the space we occupy is the service we render”. Francie paid a lot by the amount of service he rendered. May he rest in peace – he earned it.

Uncle Francie taught me to be a lifeguard long, long ago. I still can picture him egging me on to come "save" him in the pool. What a wonderful life, and what a wonderful legacy he left so many people. Dr. Beth Waggenspack, Blacksburg, VA
