Helén McNameecolleague from the Baltimore days

I would like to thank you for giving us who do no longer live in Ireland the chance to attend the celebration of Fran’s life. I think Fran would have liked that his Baltimore colleagues could attend his send off the digital way. So spot-on. During many years I was Aidan Gallagher’s secretary and it was Fran and Aidan who hired me in 1997. Working for Baltimore, with Fran and that great crowd, made me friends for life and I am so grateful that your father gave me that opporunity. He was a great leader and a good laugh. RIP Fran. Take care of each other <3 Helén McNamee Varberg, Sweden

I would like to thank you for giving us who do no longer live in Ireland the chance to attend the celebration of Fran’s life.
I think Fran would have liked that his Baltimore colleagues could attend his send off the digital way. So spot-on.
During many years I was Aidan Gallagher’s secretary and it was Fran and Aidan who hired me in 1997. Working for Baltimore, with Fran and that great crowd, made me friends for life and I am so grateful that your father gave me that opporunity. He was a great leader and a good laugh.

RIP Fran.

Take care of each other <3
