I’m saddened to see that Fran passed away recently. I had the privilege to work with him as his supervisor with IRS-CID in Seattle from1988 to 1990. He was an accomplished undercover agent ( we both had been UC cadre agents) and a top notch investigator. His style and dress were impeccable, whether going out to get his shoes shined weekly (often alligator ones) or deciding if he should wear a Patek or Rolex to compliment his wardrobe, he set the standard.  I still cherish a copy of  “Inside the KGB” he gave me when I left for San Francisco. A true gentleman, he’ll be missed. My deepest condolences.

My sincerest condolences for your loss.  I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Fran prior to his transfer to CID and throughout our years as fellow Special Agents.  Fran was a true gentleman, well known as an intelligent, dedicated and hard working coworker!  Whether we discussed a case, national policies or our golf games, Fran would "light up" with enthusiasm!  He will truly be missed.

Terri, My sincere condolences on Fran's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Fran on several joint FBI/IRS-CID cases and initiatives in the late-90's on, and always found him to be both a consummate professional and just a great guy to spend time with. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Terri;

I too am sorry to hear of Fran's passing.  I first met Fran when he joined the IRS-CID office in Seattle in the late-1970s, and worked closely with him on several significant investigations.  Fran took great pride in his job as a Special Agent, used his talents and abilities to bring some high-level violators to justice, and earned the respect of many other agents and prosecutors along the way.  His work ethic, professionalism and integrity were just some of the things we all respected about Fran.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of loss.
