My deepest sympathy to the entire family. André and I were both attending CSU, and we were both in the Marching & Jazz Band Ensembles. He was the big man Kappa on campus and was liked by all who knew him. We also worked together in Spencer, Okla., I at Rogers MS & he at Star Spencer HS. What a season of greatness in the 80s working with the talent of the Spencer community. Mr. Fran will be missed here, but He is smiling now from above. Tony, may you and your family continue to hold tight to God's Hand for strength during this season.

I was truly sorry to hear of the passing of a dear friend and colleague. Andre’s mom and dad were very helpful in preparing me to be a band director. As a matter of fact, Andre’s dad was my mentor. He was my first band director at Moon Jr. High. I studied music education under Andre’s parents my first year at Langston University. Prior to graduation, I did my student teaching under Andre’s dad at Douglass High School. I owe and love the Francisco family for the many years I’ve known and appreciated their love and assistance towards me and my career. I also enjoyed team teaching with Andre when he taught at Star Spencer HS and I taught at Rogers MS. I’m so sorry I will not be able to attend Andre’s home going because I will be flying back home from London. I will continue to pray for Andre’s family during their time of need. He will be truly missed.

I am so very sad to have heard about the passing of Mr. Francisco. I was his bass drummer in the John Marshall band of 1981-82. Mr. Francisco was very smart about the music, the band and knew how to handle our rowdy crew. I do remember him from that time very well. He told us about the KAPhi and his history at US Grant HS. He was also very stern and disciplined. I pray for the Family of Mr. Francisco that God's blessings will be upon you all. Farewell sir.
