I can remember going on vacation with my parents down east in the summers when I was a child. We lived in Ontario and my one set of grandparents lived in West Arichat. We would always go visit my dads Uncle Francis. I remember going to this tiny little house and I was so amazed he had a "pony" outside. I used to think that was so awesome, how many people have a little pony in there yard. He was always so nice and inviting. I remember anytime we were down east I'd say are we going to go visit the man with pony? lol I was very young I didn't grasp he was my great uncle. As I think back now he was always a friendly man with a smile. What a wonder man that will be missed by many people, family and friends. May you rest in peace great uncle Francis you will be missed by all! xo

Francine, and all the family of Francis. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I will always remember Francis while I was working at Richmond Villa. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless you all!!

Dear Francine and the family of the late Mr. Covin Thinking of you all during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories that you share and that he is now at peace. With prayers and hugs. Karen, Rodney and families.

To Francis's Family: Sorry to hear about the passing of your Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle........I had not seen Francis in many years but will always remember how kind he was to me when I was younger and used to spend time in his home. There was always a cup of tea and smiles awaiting you there. I only hope his last years in the Villa were as happy and comfortable as my own fathers were for the last 10 years of his life.............take care all!
