Nicely said.That's kind of a jolt to my psyche but we take comfort in knowing Fran touched so many and was such a positive figure. Penn State alums, faculty, students and fans mourn his passing. I was fortunate enough to meet Fran at three different times in my life -- as a child, later as a part-time employee of the athletic department and lastly as a communications professional. Each time, he was gracious, smart, professional and approachable. He was the voice of Penn State and he carried that mantle perfectly. Many, too many to count, aspiring communications professionals benefitted from Fran's example and advice. He was a pro.
RIP Fran. I know you are hosting a TV Quarterbacks show up there with the Brooklyn guy with the thick lenses.
Very sorry Jerry. Your dad was a Penn State Hall of Famer.
Sad day. A truly great man, and a truly great sports broadcaster. My thoughts and prayers to Jerry and the entire family.
Very sad news, indeed. Another of the vestiges of the Penn State that once was leaves us. This stuff, of course, is inevitable, but it's tougher to take when one considers with what we're left to "carry on". Not much, that's for certain.
No flags, No flags, No flags! His was a life well lived. God speed.
Jerry, I am praying for you and your family. Our lives change forever when dad or mom dies.

Bad form, bad form!
I remember him holding the door for me at Rec Hall when I was still a student in the 70s. I was rendered speechless.

That he was. I was trying to remember and maybe some of the old school Western PA guys can help me. Did Fran ever work for WHJB in Greensburg prior to coming to State College?I remember him holding the door for me at Rec Hall when I was still a student in the 70s. I was rendered speechless.
He was a figure we held in awe. He was a fine gentleman.
Yes he did. I was just a kid then but I remember Fran saying something about that when I heard him speak at an event. I think it was mid to late 50's and he did high school sports.That he was.
