My favorite professor at Rutgers hands down. As your student, I always enjoyed coming to class as you kept lectures entertaining and full of knowledge. The lessons I learned in the 4 classes I took with you I will take with me throughout my career. You will be greatly missed at Rutgers. Rest In Peace.<br>Your Student- Peter Kocovski

Francis was an inspiration to many RBS students who competed for Rutgers Newark in the College Fed Challenge. He passed his energy and excitement about financial markets and monetary policy on to them. As advisor to the Fed Challenge team, I will miss the help, guidance and inspiration that Francis provided.

I met Francis at Oakview school back when Jonathan and my daughter were in Mrs. Gibbs class for Dads and Donuts day.We realized at that point that we worked at the same company. A few years later Francis met me at an Oakview basketball night and asked me to join his team to deliver a new application.I transferred to his department and he became my mentor and taught me everything I needed to know about the mortgage business and I currently am still in that role after 16 years.After he left wall St I would see him at the local IHOP, the bagel store or walking my dog through the neighborhoodHe will be missed.My condolences to Francis’ family and friends he was such a nice person.<br>David Miller

I'll never understand it, but my family and I will always remember what a tremendous great Uncle Francis had, along with his loving family. It's really touching to see how many people he and Auntie Joyce had an impact on, but not surprising. What a testimony. Prayers for Joyce and the whole family. <3, Sharon
