My sincere condolences to Flavia and her family. This man was someone I would have enjoyed meeting.
May he rest in peace after a long and wonderful life.

Juan, I am sadden for your loss, but I know you and your family have many wonderful memories of this great man that will carry you through.

Francisco kind of reminds me of my maternal grandfather Pierre Dufrene, who made his living hunting, fishing, and trapping. My grandfather died at the age of 94, one hell of a man.

Perhaps they are hunting together in some celestrial marsh, my grandfather with his LC Smith 12ga and Francisco with his favorite shotgun. I have to smile at the thought. Would they speak in Spanish or French?

Take care my friend, good days are ahead.

Juan,my friend so sad to know this... I know how much you loved & respected Francisco !

I have been out for sometime since I have to deal with my own quota of sadness due to this *^?@# virus of the swine flu which infected my son Facundo... happily it seems to be over

Some months ago Jorge left us and now Francisco... Frowner Frowner a generation of true gentleman hunters is preceeding us in the path of life... rest in peace !! salute


My deepest condolences to both you and Flavia !
