On July 28, 1979, he turned his life around with the help of Fr. Paul Charbonneau, Andy Kotow, Norm Shanahan, and his Brentwood family as well as his AA groups and sponsors.
When he retired from Ford Motor Company, he began working the night shift at Brentwood. He was working until the day he went into the hospital wanting to help right to the end.

Like his dad, Andy, Fran had a beautiful cheerful disposition and was always ready to give a helping hand, encouraging words, and a listening ear as needed. His willingness to be available to help his fellow addicts, spread like the waves of the ocean to significant numbers of people. We feel blessed to call him son, brother, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, friend, and coworker.

He is survived by his loving partner, Jeanne Fortier, his son Andrew (Loretta Monforton), his daughter Theresa (Clay Morgan), his mother Elizabeth (Betty), his sisters Crystal (John Sullivan) and Cathy, his brother Joe (Sandy). He will be missed by his beautiful grandchildren and his great granddaughter as well as many nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

He is predeceased by his son, Joey (2007), his dad, Andy (2005), and his sister, Mary Beth (2018).
We are so grateful to the Met campus ICU staff, especially Dr. Masri. The care you gave Frank was exceptional. Many thanks to you all.
