There is a small solace to be found in the rememberance that Franamax has left a positive mark on this community and the world around him. Requiescat in pace. — Coren(talk)21:26, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I share the burden of mourning this tremendous loss; affecting such a large constituency. An abundance of fond memories is the grace I shall sustain by. Rest in the deserved peace that culminates your diligent toils. My76Strat (talk) 22:28, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What a profound loss. Fran was an effective editor and a great help to me at crucial junctures. No doubt a tremendous loss for the family. -- Scray (talk) 23:18, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm really sorry to hear this :( You helped me out once with a serious situation and for that, I'm really appreciative. Will miss you, sir - Alison❤00:31, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Condolences for all family, friends, and fellow contributors who have appreciated this fine person. Very sad to see this. Ave atque vale; you were one fine Wikipedian. Antandrus (talk)01:50, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My condolences to the friends, family and fellow contributors of Franamax. I never crossed paths with him, but he seemed like a very good fellow. God bless! Statυs (talk) 03:22, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
RIP Francis/Franamax. My sincere condolences to his family. Had the pleasure of dinner with him at a Turkish restaurant in Burnaby a number of years ago, and some sage advice.Skookum1 (talk) 03:51, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Very shocking loss, one of the best in regard with tools and technical stuff, may he rest in peace and condolences to his family and friends. Secretaccount05:26, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia will be a lesser place without him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends; you'll be in my prayers and thoughts. GJC06:29, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Very sorry to hear this, and condolences to his family. They should know that Franamax was valued here, too, and that he will be missed. AndreasJN46608:56, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's a shock to find this out; my interactions with Franamax were limited, but I always knew he was a great admin and editor. This is a loss. I wish his family the best. Acalamari09:08, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is a very sad day here, and I will miss his wit, sense of humor, and helpfulness. Peace to the entire Franamax family and friends. ---Sluzzelintalk14:03, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Really quite honoured to have had the opportunity to work with you here on the project. Thank you. My thoughts are with your family and friends. jæs(talk)17:57, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Although I don't recall we interacted with each other on Wikipedia, I am very sorry to hear of the loss of another experienced editor. My userpage now serves as a memory to you too. Thank you for everything you did for Wikipedia. Rest in peace all the best to your family and friends. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 21:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A sad loss to the family and friends of Franamax and to Wikipedia. Although he is gone from our perspective, I'm sure that Franamax lives. Count Iblis (talk)
Thoughts to his family and friends at the loss of a loved one. Sad as well for or general community to lose such a fine contributer. Rest in peace.--Amadscientist (talk) 02:25, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent to work with. He was on my short list of trusted admins, and as a result we had occasional e-mail exchanges. If he's "up there", somewhere, reading this, maybe he could comment... and we'll forgive the "original research". ←Baseball BugsWhat's up, Doc?carrots→ 04:25, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm so sorry to hear this sad news; my heart goes out to his loved ones. Franamax was an upstanding admin and a great asset to the project. He will be remembered fondly. ThemFromSpace05:01, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very sorry to hear this. My condolences to his loved ones. I enjoyed working with him - he made a difference around here. --Avenue (talk) 18:11, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Terribly sad news. We hadn't corresponded in some time, but Francis was always willing to help out with anything or just talk things over. I wish it was possible to thank him again for all his help. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP. Carcharoth (talk) 23:39, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm shocked out of my mind to hear the news, and very saddened. I didn't know Franamax too well, but he was a terrific contributor to this site with a great deal of insight to offer, and he will be missed. My condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. Kurtis (talk) 13:09, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Very sad news to read this day. :( We interacted often on the Canadian Wikipedian's noticeboard. Franamax's insight and personality will be missed. Condolences to his family. Resolute15:14, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Franamax was there for me when I was having a hard time with the first article I really cared about, Robot. You'll remain in my thoughts, Francis. - Dank (push to talk) 20:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Let's give a thought or two to the passing of a fellow contributor, and for those so inclined, let's raise a glass to their memory : ) - jc3701:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did add a cup of coffee, or tea, to the list, and I am raising my cup of coffee right now, being certain that I will again; as many times as my days will allow. My76Strat (talk) 04:18, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just raised my last little bit of Yamazaki; I came along a couple years after he started, and we inhabited different parts of Wikipedia, but I noticed his technical work from afar and genuinely appreciate all the time and effort he put in. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 00:21, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I shall break open a Guiness and think of him. Terribly, terribly sad news. My love and sympathy to all the family and friends. Pesky (talk) 10:32, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Today was a solemn reminder of the relationships and friends one makes online and through cyberspace. Often a world hide away from those in the outside world, it never ceases to amaze me of the meaningful contributions and bonds of community working over a project can create. These alternate lives online we lead form some of the strongest friendships we count amongst our very closest. While not aways aware of the impact our loved ones had on the lives of others in distant countries, I hope Fran's family read this and know he was truly missed all around the world. I have also added a link on the WP:Vancouver talk, whom Fran was a regular contributor. Mkdwtalk22:11, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I had the honor of meeting Franamax once in real life. He was just as intelligent and level-headed in person as he was online. He was a positive force that contributed to the development of Wikipedia. Thank you, Franamax. —maclean (talk) 07:23, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
