Dear Crossword-Solver

I am Francis's son. I am just writing to tell you that my dad died on November 24th last year. This forum gave him a lot of pleasure in his final years and I think you'll agree he made good contributions to it. I'd like to thank you for your interactions. My email, in case you wanted to contact me, is paulfrankl (at) blueyonder.co.uk

Many thanks and with warm wishes to all.

Paul

Sad news - such a gentleman .

I've inquired about him a number of times. I'm so sorry. What a kind and gracious and witty person he was- and I always enjoyed his clues! He will truly be missed.

So good of you to let us know, sympathy to you and the rest of the family.

RIP Francis - a true gent. ♥
