During his service in the Army, he was transferred to Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri where he met Judy Armstrong. He was honorably discharged in 1962 and on October 6, 1962, he married his true love and best friend, Judy. They recently celebrated sixty-one years of love and memories.
Following his marriage to Judy, he was employed by Mac Trucking Company for fifteen years. They then moved to Richland, Missouri where they made their home.

Francis was baptized at an early age and was an active member in the Church of Christ faith as long as his health would allow. He loved God with all his heart and is no doubt walking the streets of gold.
He loved being on his farm and working with the cows. He was so happy and proud when his grandson, Nathan White, purchased the family farm and started maintaining it again. Francis looked forward to going with Nathan for rides in the Jeep to check cattle and see the new calves on the farm.
Francis was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. He loved having his children and grandchildren visit and spending time together making wonderful memories. His loss is deeply felt by his family and he will be so missed. His faith and loyalty will forever be etched on the lives of those he touched.
