He attended school in Leroy and Meaux. At the age of 18, he was employed by Broussard Brothers driving a tug boat. In the late 70s, he was a self-employed contractor building new homes and remodeling old ones. He did this until he retired in January 2002. His passion was his garden and his fruit trees. When someone visited Francis, you would leave with fruits and vegetables. He loved to travel to Branson every year and go camping at the state parks.
The family would like to thank the staff at Abbeville General Hospital and the workers at Lamm Family Care Hospice group for all the love and care that was given to our loved one during his battle with cancer. Thank you to all the friends who supported us during our time of sorrow and pain.
