Dear May,
I so appreciated your very kind care and attention to me as an Extra Mural patient a few years ago, and was especially impressed by the love you expressed for your family, especially your husband. As I recall, your cottage/camp in the wild was a very special place for both of you. Clearly you will have many wonderful memories to console you as time goes on. Look after yourself for a while now.

My sincere condolences to the family. Francis was a childhood friend of my late Father Charlie Coakley who grew up near Douglas Harbour. I visited Francis 4 or 5 years ago and he told me the details of how our family's farm was sold to the Prov of NB and became Grand Lake Provincial Park, and how he was involved. I'm sorry I never got back to visit again.

dearest May: You are in my thoughts.... I have very fond memories of our last visit; all of us sitting in your living room while my kids fought and Francis smiled and made some comments about parenting to Mark and I.
Francis was a very dear friend to me; in fact one of my very best friends!!
I am grateful to have met him and through him I am grateful to have met you.
Lots of love, Stella and family.

Was privileged to work for Francis and his father in the 1960's. Busy always with family and his legal career. He put his mark of excellence and attention to detail in all of his endeavours. His legacy is his children,
of whom he was well proud. I regret that I am unable to attend the celebration of his life as you reflect on his many
accomplishments

I was one of the alumni of Atkinson & Atkinson having articled for Francis the summer of 1968. Francis was excellent to work for. The firm was incredibly busy and Francis assigned clients to me prolifically. He was always supportive and shared lots of practical advice. Over the next few decades, though in different firms, we always remained friends. I always considered myself lucky to have started my legal life with such a frank, sharing,helpful mentor, as Francis was.
Sincerely,
Bill Matthews
