Dear Balitaan,

It is with heavy heart to report to you that one of our co-workers and an old ailing "Tiger", Mr. Delfin Francisco passed away yesterday [20 Oct] at the age of 81 here in San Diego, California. I received the sad news today from his daughter Dr. Ma. Socorro "Baby" Francisco.

I will keep the group posted for the services and funeral schedules pending for the arrival of Jojo and Percival Francisco.

Dear Dave,

Nakakalungkot talaga ang naibalita mo, Mr Francisco ay isa sa naging foreman namin sa antenna and fire control section, lots of good memories with him..nakikiramay ako kasama ng family ko...

Rey Rosel

--------------------------

To All,

I would like to share a couple of pictures taken with Mr Delfin Francisco and his wife, the last time Manong Dilan and I paid a visit on his home in San Diego, Ca. on August 2009.

As of today, Thursday [22 Oct] no words yet heard from the family of Mr Francisco regarding the schedule of services. However, I would like to thank everyone for sending comforting words to the Francisco family via email; which I plan to compile/print and include in the card and flowers I will personally hand to the family in behalf of the Balitaan group. I am expecting the viewing services will start this weekend. Until then, I am still  collecting new messages to be included in the card.
