Funeral Information
The Family would appreciate if you could leave a message to be put into a book of condolences for the family.
Fran, you are a great friend and I will miss you forever. We had a great time together in Dublin and in New York you were there for me when I went through some very hard times and I will always remember that my brother. Sending out prayers and love. to all your family, Mary, Yvonne, David, laura and Jackie. You were, and always will be one of my heroes. Love, Stevie.
I would like to thank you for giving us who do no longer live in Ireland the chance to attend the celebration of Fran’s life.
I think Fran would have liked that his Baltimore colleagues could attend his send off the digital way. So spot-on.
During many years I was Aidan Gallagher’s secretary and it was Fran and Aidan who hired me in 1997. Working for Baltimore, with Fran and that great crowd, made me friends for life and I am so grateful that your father gave me that opporunity. He was a great leader and a good laugh.
RIP Fran.
Take care of each other <3
