He is survived by his loving wife Lorrie Pasetto; daughters Jennifer (Chris) Mager, Amy (Tom) Furminger and Tiffany Lang; grandchildren Sam & Luke Mager, Noah, Henry & Molly Furminger, McKenzie & Lea Beane; nieces, nephews and friends.
Francis was originally from Buffalo, NY where he taught and coached at St. Mary's School for the Deaf for 33 years. He was a big fan of the Buffalo Bills and NY Yankees. Francis enjoyed spending time with his family at his cabin in Canada and traveling to Las Vegas with his good friend, Leo and visiting casinos in our area with another good friend, Dennis. He also enjoyed the trips that he and Lorrie were able to go on. He was a devoted father, grandfather, and husband who loved his family; they will all miss him dearly.
At Francis's request, there will be no formal services. In lieu of flowers, kindly consider a donation to the Wilmot Cancer Center in Francis's memory.
