Columbia Falls, Montana, USA 

I was born in Lewistown, Montana, January 30, 1921 to Mr. And Mrs. Fred and Stella France. My parents really had it rough, but no one ever complained. Then in 1947, I met the girl of my dreams. We fell like two ton of bricks, me for one ton and she the other. It started out a real love affair and it lasted until God called her home. She was such a beautiful and loving person, everyone who ever knew her loved and admired her. I worked as an auto mechanic and in the propane and natural gas business for 10 years. Then I decided to go into the auto repair business on my own. My wonderful Ruth did all the book keeping. We retired 14 years ago, then in January 1996, Ruth passed away on January 12th. Then to help pass the lonely days and nights alone, I became sort of a poet. Thank God for my wonderful five children and nine grandchildren. Life is well worth living yet today.

Dad

He started this whole mess,
Whe he met your mom.
Then as we all know-you can guess,
These two fell in love.

He became a saint to a lot of folks,
Especially his sons and daughters.
Everybody knew him for his jokes,
His family admired him to no end.

Dad was a clown and full of fun.
He tries hard to please us kids.
When he's always on the run.
He does eveything he can, to accept our bids.

He was and is mom's favorite,
She always accepts him.
She loves him with all her might.
She always caters to his every whim.

Let's all just say Happy Fater's Day,
He's a kind of almighty god.
That's what all of his family say,
Let's give him the happy nod!
