To the family of Francis deepest sympathy from the Fox family.
Our grandmother was Nora Cosgrove who married John Fox and lived in Neponset for years.
To the Cosgrove family, I’m sorry for your loss. Frankie and I were good friends between 4th and 8th grades at St. Ambrose School. We traveled back and forth to school on the Adams St. bus and spent time together at lunch time in Fields Corner. Staff at stores there like Dotty’s Donuts and Grants appreciated Frankie’s good looks and charm and gave us breaks on the cost of ice cream cones and broken cookies. I vividly recall thinking as a boy that Frankie was the most generous friend I had.
