Hi everyone. My name is Janet Rhoades of Surry, NH. I met Frannie 15 years ago, and he has lived with me in Surry ever since. He was such a kind and caring partner and treated my whole family with respect and loved them. He was like a Grandpa to all of my grandchildren, even tho they always called him Frannie. He had a special place in his heart for Gracelyn 4 years old and Jameson almost 6.He saw them everyday at our house because I watched them since they were babies. Frannie had a hard time saying (I love you) out loud, he always said I show you everyday how I feel about you. But the very night before he died, He said I love you outloud and many people heard him. I was left out of all plans during his Cremation because we were not married, And thats not what he wanted, He told me and family members that I was to be included in all plans, but that never happened, and he would be Heartbroken if he knew that. I took care care of him for many years when he got really sick, I did everything.I miss him terribly as he was the sweetest man ever to me. Always watched out for me and I knew I was Loved. Frannie will always be looking down on me from heaven. He can never be replaced.

Frannie was a long time friend to the Simonds family.  I knew him through my parent Ronald and Martha Simonds (now deceased).  My condolences to his family.
