Please accept our deepest condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with Denise, Kerri, Kristie and family. Frenchy was a wonderful friend and neighbor. He never hesitated to help anyone in need. God bless.
Frenchy had my respect the moment I met him. He was a brother in Arms. I could tell he had the touch. A fellow rider, he was easy to talk about riding. Frenchy lived life and set an example in everything he did. I offer my salute.
My deepest sympathy.. please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.. love Kathy
