His strong will and love for hard work make up the Legacy Francisco leaves behind, as well as his love and passion for hunting, fishing and cooking. Everyone who knows "Pancho" knows he never met a stranger, deer or fish he didn't love. He was a hardworking man, a loving husband, father and Papa. He loved and enjoyed cooking for any and every occasion. He was always there for family and friends whenever needed. His beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of his wife, children and grandchildren.
