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.

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.

Sincerely yours,
