    Fran, I just wanted to thank you again for all your kind wisdom and frank discussions over the years.
    It’s hard to believe we worked together for over a quarter of a century, with some of that work bringing us on journeys to other countries.
    I truly appreciate all that you taught me, not only in manufacturing / machining, but in life. You were a great mentor to everyone.
    Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
    Cory and Josie Fitzpatrick
