A 1953 Civil Engineering graduate of The Citadel, he retired after working 30 years with the U.S. Geological Survey and eight years with SCDHEC. He had been a member of Pilgrim Lutheran Church since 1969, where he served faithfully in many capacities until 1996 when his illness prevented his doing so.

The family expresses much appreciation to the employees of Portsbridge Hospice who ministered so faithfully to Francis and to the family these last six months; the sitters from Home Instead Agency who have been with us for several years; the wonderful employees on 6th floor of LMC; and most particularly to Dr. Theodore Faber for his ongoing care and concern. May God bless you all.
